I would like to mention, for those accounts that don't play regularly on ICC: there is a monthly computer pool with prizes - see https://www.chessclub.com/user/help/pool-computer. Most accounts are running Stockfish or Komodo but the books vary, so there is still some variety. Arasan plays pretty regularly in the pool too, as well as regular rated games, although it is only on when I have spare machine cycles. It would be nice if there were more engines and especially more different ones.

FICS of course is good too. It has a different mix of engines, but few active accounts.

Congratulations to you Daniel! Keep working on Andscacs man... your engine really had some wonderfully beautiful wins... some of the wins that we saw together in the tournament from Andscacs were truly impressive. It was an honour that you allowed me to use your engine in this great tournament.

Thanks. While I expected to win, I certainly didn't imagine that Komodo would score 97%. It's especially nice that this happened on the very same weekend with exactly the same version as our best result ever in the handicap matches with GMs.
Komodo rules!
