Why you don't put other stronger engines there too?


I don't want to scare people away from a variant they might be trying for the first time, by clobbering them. Laughing Fairy-Max is my prefered engine, because it is beatable, and because it plays so many variants.

This Fairy-Max bot is running on the ICS machine itself (because I have no other computers that are switched on all the time), which is a simple Asus Eee mini laptop. So it is competing with the ICS for the meagre CPU available (a single 1.3GHz core), and I don't want the ICS to get sluggish because too many engines are runing on that machine.

There are not many people that visit this ICS, as I don't really advertize it. My ADSL connection would probably not be able to handle too many people anyway. So to play a human you would basically have to bring one yourself! Very Happy We use it every month for the engine blitz tourney (but that is normal Chess).

The idea is that Yasser would eventually set up his own machine, (using the code I developed), and direct all S-Chess players there from his website. My machine is primarily there for testing the changes I make; I want to be able to run a crash-prone experimental version there occasionally without disturbingtoo many people.
