Hi Graham,

thanks for testing Stockfish!

Are you using the default or the optimistic version? What about give a chance to the optimistic? At least because has been never tested till now.

Thanks

Hi Marco,

I'm testing Stockfish 1.2 Default.
I'd love to test optimistic, but there are too many other engines that also need testing at this stage.
Remember that a CCRL goal is to get 200+ games for every engine that we test (400+ for top engines).

Cheers, Graham.

Great tournament Graham! :D It's quite certain that commercial engines like Rybka, Naum and Fritz will finish in Top 3 in your tournament (and likely in the current order). Other commercial engines like Hiarcs, Shredder and Zappa are doing much worse, in fact they are also in the Top 3 but from the bottom! The tournament is still quite young and things may change but at least Zappa seems to have a hard time.

Looking forward to your next updates and especially to follow the battle in the bottom of your tournament.

Best regards
