Tornado and N2.

[Jim Ablett]

Yace,
Pepito.

I would've expected Yace to dominate the testsuites in the past,
but now not quite so sure. Still expect a good score though.

I forgot to add one thing: All engines use single CPU.

@Jim: There was a public beta of Yace, 0.9.8.7..... the website that hosted a file seems to be down, so was wondering where I could get that file?

[Edsel Apostol]

RomiChess and Pepito.

Thanks, I intend to use Yace Paderborn for the rest of this tournament because both the tournaments have begun. I will definitely use the last version in the next edition.

I agree with Graham here. N2 and Tornado.
