This is the update I've been waiting for. I love your 10+6 list it has the biggest head-to-head sample size out there apart from Stefan Pohl, but the games are still played at a slow enough time control that I could watch them.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post a small snapshot of the head-to-head results from the 10+6 list that SlowChess 2.2 achieved against some really strong engines and then a comparison of the results that SlowChess 2.1 achieved against those same engines. The difference is stark. It's fantastic that a little known engine has been able to break through to a level that Ethereal, Fire and Xiphos have occupied on their own for a long time.

SlowChess 2.2
Ethereal 12.25 : 300 (+28,=216,-56), 45.3 % -35
Ethereal 12.00 : 300 (+45,=210,-45), 50.0% -15
Fire 7.1 : 300 (+49,=203,-48), 50.2% +5
Xiphos 0.6 : 300 (+52,=205,-43), 51.5% +15
RofChade 2.3 : 300 (+69,=192,-39), 55.0% +31
Booot 6.4 : 300 (+61,=209,-30), 55.2% +44

SlowChess 2.1
Ethereal 12.00: 300 (+16,=198,-86), 38.3% -96
Fire 7.1 : 300 (+23,=191,-86), 39.5% -76
Xiphos 0.6 : 300 (+22,=189,-89), 38.8% -66
RofChade 2.3 : 300 (+25,=187,-88), 39.5% -50
Booot 6.4 : 300 (+40,=203,-57), 47.2% -37

Much better performance by Ethereal 12.25 than in the bullet list. Closer to Stockfish 8 than Stockfish 7 in this rapid list !
