I like watching LittleThought lose every tournament :) no really.

Yeah - I know you follow the tourneys Nathan. 8-)

Keep up the good work with your engine.
In the absence of any decent NZ engines, I regret to say I must support the Aussies! :roll: :wink:

Yes but I bet either Twisted Logic or Bugchess would go ahead of Nanoszachy in the end.

Bugchess is doing better in later stage, I guess Francois was right, and Hamsters is doing even better, Alessandro must be proud! :)

Hamsters have the same performance as pseudo based on the ccrl list
From the ccrl list:

Hamsters 0.4 2691 +193 −159 79.2% −194.4 25.0% 12
49.9%
28 Pseudo 0.7c 2691 +20 −20 49.2% +4.1 38.9% 772

Maybe Alessandro Scotti was wrong when he claimed that hamster is probably weaker than kiwi at long time control

http://64.68.157.89/forum/viewtopic.php ... 86&t=15652

I also remember him claiming that Hamster is weaker than Pseudo.
Hamster's results so far fails do not show it.

Yeah great improvement from Hamsters,Alessandro was just being modest.
He did really tell me that Hamsters is little better than Kiwi.Don't know where you got that info,maybe it was the older version of Hamsters that was weaekr than Kiwi.
