Anatoli is released....

[Martin]

I wonder if it's stronger than the author's older engine SpiderChess?

I don't know how strong Anatoli is now. It changes fast and the latest versions didn't play many games yet.
I think it's stronger at longer timecontrols than at blitz. And it needs a better book than the tiny one that I released, of course.

But anyway, it is still a young and rather primitive engine, so don't expect too much!

The engine was indeed named after Anatoli Karpov, so it's great to have a logo with his picture in it!

Thank you both, Martin T. and Swami!

Well, his name is Anatoly Karpov, not Anatoli Karpov.

Regards.

I wasn't sure, I Googled and found that both 'Anatoli' and 'Anatoly' are widely used. And for some irrational reason that I don't remember I decided for 'Anatoli'.
Maybe I can call him Anatoly when he is a bit more mature.

Swami,

Then his name is also Анатолий.

I guess it depends where in the world you live...

Yes. Unlike some other languages, there is no internationally standardized way to transcribe Russian names. All countries use their own system. I think "Anatoli" is probably the most common way to transcribe this name, ("Anatolij", which we use in Scandinavia, is also quite common), so there is nothing wrong or unusual about the engine name.

Actually, I don't know any other language than English where it would be spelt "Anatoly". I'm sure there are some, though.

Yours is also clean and more of a logo-like appearance.

Why is it named Anatoli; does it have anything in common with the great world champion or his playing style?
