Ivanhoe B46fC x64 does quite well in my test matches (almost on par with Critter)
Where can I have a look at your results?
Well,unfortunately nowhere until I setup my own web homepage....Soon I hope :D

Do you think that the 46e version is stronger :!: :?:
Just wondering regards,
Dr.D

This is the first match I have run with it, but yes- I can safely say B46e is quite a bit stronger. There are at least 3 or 4 others I know are stronger as well. It's harder than with most to put a close number on it- as I said this is its first match for me. But I would be proud to run it in any tournament. It can more than hold its own.

Came back because I forgot to tell you I have thousands of 32bit Ivanhoe games. But only a few matches with 64bit. I have run 4, and will run probably 8 or so more trying to get a feel for their 64bit placement. I picked Komodo for 2 reasons- it will be overall competitive and won't get embarrassed. Not as strong as Houdini and Critter- but not as weak as Hiarcs and the like. And one thing I don't want are any problems- and Komodo may be the most stable out there in that respect.

I also wanted to tell you to watch out for them, because I will be posting 2 matches per day till I finish this placement test.

Dr., I have to add an important caveat to my answer about B46fC's strength. I said there were 4 or so stronger besides B46e. I don't actually know that, because I realized I was really giving you an answer based on 32bit testing only. And I know you were referring to 64bit. My apologies.
