I think I know which 3 engines shall end last.
Impossible to predict best 3.
Very tough league, too tough even for strong BigLion :wink: !

Best,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Hi Graham,

Bad start for Stockfish 1.2.
I suppose it is the default version.
I found that, at least against Thinker, the optimistic version scores better than the default.
Will you give the optimistic a try on CCRL?

Hi Ernest,

yes, this is the default version of Stockfish 1.2.
Not sure if we'll test the optimistic version because there are plenty of other engines needing attention also.

Cheers, Graham.
