[IWB]

This is the successor of Umko 1.2 rated 2655 in the IPON. To get a Top 20 position it has to reach 2679 or better.

Have fun

Thanks Ingo....

Right now it is stopped. I'll wait a bit for a SSE version. If not I will run it with x64 only (which isnt that bad)

Very interesting !
STS test gives v1.3 a bit weaker than v1.2 and usualy reflect the correct strength of play. 1st counter-example !

The CEGT had about 50Elo+ after 800 games ...

That is always the case with position test. They are optimized until they give a certain picture which fits into reality. After a while they fail because of new engines, get adapted to real life, fail, adapted ... they always follow the expectations. I watch this for years (12+ at least) and it always comes true sooner or later.
But I agree, position test are tempting. They are easy and fast and give a result which is correct - in the beginning. Of course the expectiation is that THIS test is better than all others before and will be true forever ...

In fact, STS emphasizes positional factors. So, I suppose v1.3 was optimize for tactics !
