All joking aside--thats hard for me to do! Here are the results of the first and last test of Romi vs Homer at this time limit and probably any time limit.

RomiChessNG5 - Homer20_blend : 62.0/100 50-26-24 (11=0==11101=0=01=1=0=0111=00==1101=01====011=010=0001101110111101111=111010===1110=10111=11010101111) 62% +85

Why:
1) Homer is not good at this time control of 1+1 and => it is pointless.
2) I have no previous version history and I do not want to backtrack with the last dozen Romi betas to get it.
3) No time to do the same at longer time limits
4) I just do not know what doing better against Homer really means for Romi.
5) The author of Homer may take it personally and start a war with me! :P :twisted: (dang, I just can't help it--bad me! :( )

However, if anyone has enough experiance with Homer at this time limit and would like to interpret the above results, I am all ears!
Previous version of Homer was not as strong as the current one, probably about 200 elo weaker. I have not done extensive tests of Homer, only around 130 games at the most. Homer is a 2nd division engine at long time controls and its more like a 4th division engine in blitz, I do not know the trick behind it, but its true.
