I tried Raphael 4.0 for my UHO-Top15 Ratinglist. But after some hundred games, around -35 Celo are missing to enter the ratinglist (being stronger than Pawnocchio 1.9). But a superstrong engine - no doubt about that. Perhaps the next version of Raphael will be strong enough?!? Stay tuned.

Hey, thanks to both of you for testing Raphael.
I am currently working on a few features which should bump Raphael up even further.
I'm not sure if I would be able to release the next version before Pawnocchio gets updated (from what I know, it's gained a ton of elo ever since), but I hope to slowly but surely keep improving it!
