It looks like ChessAlex 2.0 r4 is a big improvement over the 1.xx series!
I don't indicate a big improvement of FireFly 2.5.0 MP over FireFly 2.2.0,which is the strongest version of FireFly in my tournaments till now....

The tournament is halfway finished though,will see

Indeed it seems to be where it belongs. When I first convinced Graham to run micro-Max in the CCRL Amateur Championship I said: "it is about the level of Clueless"!

Note that Denis Mendoza recently compiled uMax 4.8m to create an executable that runs an incredible 1.8 times faster on the Core 2 Duo than my own gcc compile! It can be found at

http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/max.zip

and the PII version in that archive was best for C2D.

Great,as I wrote before,I began a series of tournaments from scratch regarding engines below the 2000 Elo barrier and I am satisfied with this fact as I pay attention to my lower sector of the rating list....

Thanks for the link,I'll use this faster executable in the future tournaments
