Hi.
Next Tuesday 2022.03.22, I plan to play an odds match against engines on my laptop, using BanksiaGUI.
I will be playing a queen up from the initial position, with black. That is, remove the white queen.
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNB1KBNR w KQkq - 0 1
I intend to play until I defeat each engine at least once. If I fail to win a game, I will retry (perhaps not immediately).
Time control: rapid, 15 minutes initial time plus 10 seconds increment, from move 1.
(I would prefer a standard time control, but I do not have that much time).
I do not have a fixed schedule. I will begin as early as I feel comfortable, and I might take a lunch break, or simply rest between games.
First, some info about my computer (sorry, I am not sure what is relevant, so I pasted almost everything).

As for Banksia options, I will have all windows closed, except the board to play the game.
No arrows, or any other hint from the engines, I will be on my own.
I have not downloaded any tablebases, I doubt they fit in my hard drive.
Now, I plan to play against:
Crafty 25.3
Komodo bmi2 12
Lc0 openblas 0.27
Stockfish avx2 14
My first question for the community is... ¿are those the right versions to play against? I am particularly unsure about Lc0, I see also Lc0 opencl 0.23, I wonder if this one would be a better choice.
I plan to use all the default settings for each engine. My second question... ¿do you recommend any modification of the default settings?
Also, I would like to add a fifth engine. I prefer something essentially different from those four already listed (be it in the search, the evaluation, time management, or "style"). My third question... ¿which one(s) do you suggest?
Greetings.
