CCRL 40/40, 40/4 and FRC lists updated (27th August 2017)

First 400 Demolito FRC games completed, ran smoothly with no issues

Thank you for testing it. Demolito performaned better than I expected in Chess960.

Is it really the second strongest open source engine for Chess960 (far behind SF) ? Perhaps there are others that were missed ?

Yes it performed better than I expected as well.

I don't think I'm missing any open source engines. There is a newer version of EXchess that I haven't tested yet, but I don't think the gain is big enough to threaten Demolito.

How come Stockfish 8 was removed from the pure list?

Thanks,

Thanks,

SugaR XPrO 1.2 64-bit is in the Stockfish 'family' and has a higher rating.

Graham, I hope the staff is aware that the full game downloads for 40/4 and 40/40 result in a null file after unzipping. At least for me. It has been this way for several weeks.

They work fine for me.

They download and unzip without issue for me as well..
What file-archive utility are you using Nelson?

Well it is only rated higher, because it is based on a newer SF version.
IMHO this is a bad decision and it would be much better to use at least
one new SF dev version per quarter of a year.
Komodo is as often released and all of them are tested.

I use 7-zip. The unzip seems fine and the file is the correct size. But when I try to open it in Chessbase--no games in file. I'm going to try reinstalling Chessbase as I suspect that may be the problem.

All right, sorted out.
