Thanks! I have immediatly started a 'Blivorix' test run with it. It will take a while though. I think I will report the result on Tuesday, in the Tournaments and Matches forum. I did not test many new engine releases with the Blivorix concept yet, but among these, Alaric 703 was 2nd strongest (2670) and strongest was Scorpio 1.91 (2720).

Howdy stranger!
The link is there and more specific it is here but not here in this post.
Crystal clear? Probably not...
In my first post, the first line, the last word. The word with the link is "here".

Have nice day!

I never try to estimate the elo difference. I just concluded that this version is stronger than the one before. I have reason to believe that the longer time control we have the more relative strength difference there is compared to previous version.
That is because of a search bug that I corrected and that should have such effect.

Let's see what all of you testers find out. You rule!

I am fan of yours since Terra so I want to thank you for Alaric -- the playing of your engines was always nice to watch.

ps:
and don't forget -- the answer is 42

Hi Peter,

It seems that the beta prior to this version may have little improvements say about 10 elo not sure about it, maybe this version would have improvements over the last beta.It seems Alaric manages time little slower especially in the middle game.Maybe more games are needed.

As an intermediate result, after 40 from 80 Blivorix test games, I can report that Alaric WB707 performed very good! Against 10 different opponents with a rating average of ~2650(*), it scored 27,0/40 = 67.5%.

Please keep in mind that it's a small number of games and therefore not very reliable. Among the results is a 4-0 against Ruffian 1.0.5. Tomorrow I will run the second half of the test, with the UCI version.

*) this is based on rating averages from 4 different lists and not comparable with one specific list
