Went with Strelka 5.1 here to try and confirm the compliments it has received. And I doubted that it would disappoint. Still...................

Rybka 4.1.......+10/-20/=20 - 20.0/50
I will run as much as time allows this weekend. My next 2 matches will feature 2 different compiles of the latest released IvanHoe version- to start an effort to find out how they will compare.
I never thought about it one way or the other, but unless it requires a new path- Strelka 5.1 does not access my Nalimov TBs. Maybe I will check and see if it can access them at all. At any rate- Strelka did not seem to need them in this match.
As before, an email to me will allow you access to game PGNs.
Best,
