Honey looks pretty sweet.

[Jouni]

Crystal has the lowest rating. It confirms, that engine is the best problem solver !

Crystal has the lowest rating. It confirms, that engine is the best problem solver !

I wonder how Crystal will behave at longer TC compared to regular SF.

It's a shame I only have 2 quad core computers though so testing will take a lot of time. (And I'll only buy a new 12/16 core one once Zen3 is out)
But if I move one of them to the living room I can make a start.

2 engines added in the tournament. The 2 engines I added in the test Hard-Talkchess-2020 : http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... 54#p844054

Eman 5.40 with option "Full Analysis Depth=12"
and Bluefish-FD-XI with option Tactical=2 and Defense=No (unchecked)
This last version is very weak compare to others engines.
