Hello Ernest!

Very glad to hear that. I did a complete rewrite of the CSS and other small things.

Best,

Komodo seems to qualify among 16 core engines. Don You can abandon MP version - it will be too cruel to competitors :P .

Even though we are leading the stage 3 I have no illusions - we had 3 easy pairings and were fortunate enough to draw against Stockfish as black.

Getting past stage 3 against 16 core programs of this calibre is going to require a "confluence of events" that work in our favor.
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.

P.S. Confluence of events: Sort of like Carlsen being the challenger only because Kramnik lost his final game.

Perhaps we will see accusations of impropriety here too! Programs colluding because they're written in the same dialect of c or c++. :lol:

Vitruvius 1.19 has now played 26 games without loss! Quite impressive, when Houdini has lost 3! What are statistics experts saying - new star or not?
