There's also Homer and Pro Deo, though the latter one is hard to configure (You need to edit text files, etc.)
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

- Limit ELO
- Blunder disabled
- knps 175
- Pick percent min 5 max 15

Hi, Alessandro!
I have the latest version of Hamsters and it does not have all those fancy parameters to tweak. I tried to find an older version, but was not able to do so. Can you point me to a download location for older versions of Hamsters - particularly the one you recommend above.
Thanks.
Erik

Homer won't run in CB on my PC. It won't run in Shredderchess, either, but I got it to run in Arena.Ovyron wrote:There's also Homer and Pro Deo, though the latter one is hard to configure (You need to edit text files, etc.)

You need to install Homer onto your machine and run the exe first.Erik Roggenburg wrote: Homer won't run in CB on my PC. It won't run in Shredderchess, either, but I got it to run in Arena.
Should work in all interfaces.

the options should be there... I can see them in Arena (load engine then go to Engines -> Hamsters -> Configure) and in the Shredder GUI, what GUI are you using?

problem with Delfi is it always crashes when it is losingswami wrote:Hi Erik,
Heard Delfi is the best engine to dumb down its strength from the original one,atleast better than Chessmaster, thats what I have heard, anyway I still go with the usual way of referring to the rating list and choosing the engine having particular rating or in that range...
