Thanks Tony,

I dont have to test TriOS and Usurper then.

Thanks Tony,

Best,

Dont even waste your time, they lose almost all the games on time, may be I should give them like a day increment.. I am planning to run a tournament similar to Leo's Mr.Irrelevant tournament..I just have to find a name that I think is funny that's all..

[Tony Thomas]

I have a new addition, the recently found Felpo engine is buggy and loses all the games..The new Dimitri also has problems, but wont be added to the list as the previous versions work fine.

You should add me to the list.

Fernando brain engine:
forget or does not know ending basics (King oposition? What's that?)
tactics calculation going these days not beyond 5 ply
falling in mate in two combs.
opening knowledge reduced to the sentence "try to develope yur pieces"
Lose interest after a while. Imposible to make it work after 30 minutes.
Losing every game to every engine


My best
Fernando

Felpo is out of my engines-to-be-tested list now.

Thanks Tony.

Mfchess 1.1 JA by Mats Forsén

Added basic wb time control.

Still at bottom end of strength scale, but at least it
shouldn't lose too much now due to time forfeits.

Hi Tony,

Hold off on that for a little while. I found some more bugs

New versions of both MFchess & Kace will be up on my homepage later today.
