Hi Tony. My guess is that "Chess Terminator" is his nickname, and that he thinks it is cool and is prowd of it. So what?

Will you refuse to watch John Wayne movies, read Mark Twain novels, or listen to Elton John music because they were not given those names at birth?

Best,
Kirill
You have made a great point there Kirill, I guess we will see some Ifrit results by Tony tomorrow.

Ifrid doesnt like to play my time control. It moves almost instantly and doest search deep enough to find the right moves. It is apparently very weak due to its bad time management.

It isnt time to apologize yet. I will apologize once he removes the link to pirate sites from his website. Ofcourse I have my own array of weapons, most of them are still in the early stages of development, they fall in the category of lethal gases. You dont want me aim one at you, do you? :wink:

Interesting......so CCRLka don't careka what the author is called after all. So if you test Ifrid you will test all our ones as well. Good to knowka....

Get to it Grahamka....... ;)

Seems the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing at CCRLka.

Also for information Tony............Mutha is an original engine

What is your opinion on Ifrit so far? If Mutha is an original engine, why Leo didnt post it on his site?

The source of Ifrit is there. Go look at it. You decide.

Leo does not need to post Mutha on his site.

It's already there under it's real name.

The version we have of that engine is different.

The author also sees no reason to have it posted there twice just for a version change/test version.

If I were a programmer I wouldnt have asked you for help. I will download and look at Mutha to see if I can figure out what engine it is.
