Have you tried to put Sf8 and Sf9 there?
Do you have Houdini 6?

The list is very short and mostly open_source engines, some though open_source and although the negative test, are clearly inspired or derived from Stockfish.
Simply the mentality towards this question has changed.
The better or worse, is the question.

This description sounds quite naive, especially considering the minimal sample.

t is clear that with SIM 3.
A and B: Sim 60%
A and C: Sim 60%
But not always B and C are 60%, sometimes very different.

Therefore, a Stockfish 8 derivative is not similar to a Stockfish 10 derivative in most cases.

The crazy days you got a public spanking when you as a programmer released a version derived from an open source -- and were open about that -- are fortunately over.

It's true for the top-10. I don't worry much about H6.

Hello Ed,

http://www.amateurschach.de/common/feob ... ines-3.png

Based on average of 41.614 opening positions for each of the ten engines.
More of such stats are included in Excel development files for FEOBOS opening book.

Not longer important ... FEOBOS is ready, project is closed.
All what I need for testing engines I have.

More important what you do here!!
All the time interesting to see such results.
Thank you for your work!!

I will study in detail on weekend ...
Not a work for two minutes and the next please!

Best
Frank
