Critter finally made the cut. You mentioned some sort of stability problems. Was it fix at the last minute or this is a previous version?

Hi Miguel,

Where/when did I mention stability problems for Critter?

Best,

Ah. We are talking about a new version that he was planning on including for Season 2.

Thanks! - If it is not a too big effort, could you indicate which engines are limited to 8 cores, in that list? (Or which are capable of 16 if that's the minority.)

P.S. I see there are 36 engines now, not 34. But I guess, the rule that the top-18 will advance, remains anyway?

Hi Martin,

remember that Hiarcs needs "has UCI_LimitStrength bug" to run fine under ChessGUI.
The Hiarcs team perhaps ignored my bug report in Hiarcs forum.

Matthias.

Yes, the top 18 advances.

Yes Matthias, I remember and it is already configured. Runs fine. Thanks.

Hi Martin, alas no Houdini 4 dev version running in nTCEC2
Did you perhaps have any contact about that with Robert Houdart ?

looking forward for the start

Hi Bram,

I've sent over 3 emails to Robert and contacted him through FB but he has not replied to any of my contact attempts. So nothing I can do, unfortunately.
