This seems a great result for Greko. I think it must have made some big strides recently.

Hi Dann,

GreKo 6.25 does seem to be a nice improvement.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham!

Was Ray able to get a copy of the Anaconda-960?

Hi Graham!

Was Ray able to get a copy of the Anaconda-960?

Hi Cliff,

as Ray is using the Shredder GUI for his FRC testing, he is only testing uci engines.
However, he is currently experimenting with running FRC under the ChessGUI. If everything runs smoothly in this GUI, he will be able to test winboard engines as well, so fingers crossed.
Anaconda is a chessbase native engine only, unfortunately.

Cheers, Graham.

Bummer.

I guess Gromit is still out there but I had problems loading it on Arena and Chessbase.

Hello

there is a UCI-Version of Anaconda also, but it is still private. I asked the authors for to give it public, but they refused.

Hi Cliff,
Gromit 3.8.2 works fine under the Arena GUI,just don't forget to add this to the command line:

gromit.cui

Strange as they seemed to have stopped working on it
