It is much weaker than Strelka 2.0b, at least in blitz.

It is like a train wreck. You just can't resist staring and rubber-necking when you pass by.

Goat is currently with Michael Sherwin, I am just her pimp. For a nominal fee you could have her for few hours. :wink: If goat is indeed testing belka, it is without my premission. If goat posts any results, I am going to grab them and claim them as my own. :wink:

I would be interested in doing some tests with the new Belka, but firstly i would like to know if it has the same nuisance on board as the previous version. The nuisance i refer to is that the engine only gives the best move and evaluation when it has calculated the full ply. This is annoying on longer time controls and in analysis mode. I hope to hear positive news so i can happily play around with this interesting engine.

Best regards,

Kaj
