Thinker 5.4a Inert is the best free engine at the moment

[pichy]

Actually Graham was right again, Thinker 5.4a Inert and HS-Book.abk are the best at the moment under Arena

Cut me a break and slide back into reality.

Probably a few more games with the engine that you thought it was the strongest will convince you

I thought you were going to continue running more games vs Rybka, well now you've suddenly switched to Toga instead. Anyway, I'm kinda convinced that Thinker really is the strongest freeware we have currently.

I' m versus Rybka v2.2 on my slower computer Athlon 1200 Mhz and Thinker 5.4 Inert is leading all the engines even versus Cyclone 2.3

Welcome the best freeware engine, Thinker.

Congrats, Lance.

I believe that you have the wrong link, whereas Either Toga was using 4 CPU, or Thinker was not the latest released version, Anyway here is Graham latest Free Single CPU Engine List.
