Cool... It was brought to my attention that Zahak loses on time a lot when playing in the Arena (I am guessing you are using Arena?), is it easily possible to check if this is the case? (I am sorry, I don't have access to Windows)

I have a request, do not use the book during engine tests. Because your book is weak. If the engine shows a rating of +1.54, then whether I will discuss with you.

The book used in my tournament is Perfect_2010.abk (Arena 3.5.1 GUI default book). For this class (engines under 2000 Elo points) is OK. For the top engines I always use IM_4mvs.abk (8 plies book). Sometimes - in my tournament - the engines show a fanciful evaluation (especially the last three, but not only). Evaluation functions still need to be improved.
.....my matches/tournaments are just indicative not a substitute for CCRL/CEGT. :wink:
