Try the 2200-2300 range.

Nothing much there either - Homer 1.02 perhaps

Should be okay with a higher rated engine for the first stage.

Maybe Tornado 2.1.41a, Hermann 1.7, or Hermann 1.9 then

Another idea is to use 2 engines, one very strong, one very weak, and alternate between the 2, could lead to some interesting tactics.

Aice 0.99.2 (2359) or Ayito 0.2.994 (2358)

[Spock]

Aice 0.99.2 (2359) or Ayito 0.2.994 (2358)

OK, I'd choose Ayito of those two. I'd need to check if one or both support ponder

EDIT: yes Ayito supports ponder. I'll run some quick tests

i can take the game over once out of the opening(castling completed) with a solid but low 2300 dedicated

if this is the final decision on the the third game (Ayito+ dedicated) then i will not be voting for moves in the first stage
i will update the lead thread as before
if the forum players would like to keep the name of the dedicated a mystery i will PM Ray wth the name as soon as the game begins
