			Hello ! 
Conditions: 
-TC = 4'+2" 
-Hash = 128 MB 
-Books = Perfect_2010.abk (Floyd 0.8) & its own book for Nemeton 1.3 
-GUI = Arena 3.0 
-CPU = Athlon 64 3800+ 
-OS = Windows XP SP3 
Around 2520 Elo points (CCRL 4/40) for the new 32-bit version (around +110 Elo face to the previous version.....WOW !).  And...........Floyd 0.9 is a chess engine with superb tactical abilities. A very nice play !  
Nemeton 1.3 has 2310 Elo CCRL 4/40.

Giraffe does not support Syzygy (yet). Only Gaviota tablebases available here:
