92nd Amateur Series Division 1

[Graham Banks]

Fire 8.2 the only engine playing without a NN?
Still proving to be a hard out!

Why aren't you using Fire 8.NN? It's much stronger than non-NNUE 8.2.

Hi Vernon,

I always use the latest version of each engine.

If thats the case, could you update Koivisto to either 7.14 or stronger? If you are unable to compile yourself you can ask Ipman for a compile

I should have said the latest official release, but I'll consider it for next time, as this tournament has just finished.
