Bismark and Powder

Post by countrychess »

Hello,

Which country Bismark should participate in? I see Russia and Israel are mentioned.

Does anybody have tested Powder 1.51EE. What about its strength?

Thanks!

Both would be below the engines in my Amateur Division 7, perhaps with the exception of Cupcake.

Hello graham,

Ok, that surprises me somewhat, certainly for Bismark which has an elo >2000 I think. Powder I don't know, therefore my question about its strength.

Regards,

Actually, I might not have got Powder working at all. Can't recall.

Bismark wasn't quite up to Division 7 level though because that was the purpose of my checking out some of these engines.

Nah - Cupcake is okay. It's good to have engines of different strengths. :wink:
