Capablanca won 1909 a match vs. the best American player Frank Marshall with 8:1 ... 14 x Remis
Have a look in the SWCR database:
ELO-Rating list ...
Code: Select all
01. Rybka 3 2.861 games 680, remis 28%
02. Shredder 12 2.800 games 680, remis 36%
03. Stockfish 1.6 2.789 games 680, remis 41%
04. Naum 4 2.779 games 680, remis 39%
32 Bit, 1 Core, ponder = on, 40 moves in 10 minutes, TOP 4
Now, the highest remis quote and Stockfish have the same playing style as Capablanca

There is literally nothing worse than giving a computer chess program the name of a famous chess player.
Computer programs that are used to spellcheck player names are only too glad to rename [White "Morphy"] program games as [White "Morphy, Paul"] bringing him back from the dead in 2007. The same for the many other programs and machines given human names. All I can say to giving human names to chess engines is:
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do that.
IMO-YMMV.
P.S.
He could call it 'vegetable' as a foil for 'fruit'
Or how about 'doch' for 'Do' in Don and 'Ch' in Chess?
Or even 'a boy named Sue' -- anything but Capablanca.
