Don't blame the poor Romi,leave her alone, she will do better next time :)

Romichess NG4 is the best version I guess,later versions do not seem to be playing blitz better.

Note that people who expected romi to finish in one of the top 2 places scored better than me.

I guess it is better never to guess beta engines in this contest because you cannot know what they are going to do.

I guess you do have a point,Uri.But you could be wrong sometimes, because Romichess NG4 finished 3 or 4th most of the time and some people chose it and got more points.

It got promoted and scored less which sometimes happen in higher division,Division 1 for example.

You both have the combined 5th place, since there is no SB points or something similar involved to break the tie, I am still 6th. Nice way to cheer up a sad man big guy.

I made 2 NG7 betas. I think that Swami played the more experimental (and not as good) version. I said at the time of release that it was probably not as strong. Oh well.

Now, I can confirm that looking at past results is better than picking the engines by name :)
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Just a further statement about the current devopment process of RomiChess and the state of mind of it's author.

Bright bubbly burgeoning bodaciously beautiful blitzing battling beyotch babe, becoming better by beating bogus blistering backward badly bloated bungling brutish bogie bed bug bats, breathlessly bonkers, behind blue bakery building, baking blueberry banana bread buns, before brutes bite back bone, because basically bygones belong burried beneath behemoth buoyant blocky boulders, besides Biscayne Bays broken barnnicle bogged boneyard botched battleship, beached beyond Britton's Big Ben's backyard's byway's, busy boxy business bus's, backsliding beleaguered bulging baggy bald bantering babbling blithering biased backstabing bully boss, bashing basterd bathing bystander's, buying brooding buzzing bees, bothering boisterous baby boy black bears, bleeding blood by blighted blue bench. :?
