Cool, If you predict engines strength in a way similar to mine , you would definitely do well in my prediction contest

[Uri Blass]

I considered again releasing new version of movei and I plan to release version418 today or tomorrow(I already have slightly newer version but I did not test it enough)

If movei418 is going to play it may be favourite to win this tournament because my estimate is that version 418 is at least 100 elo stronger than version 403 at 40/40(my estimate may be wrong and 57-43 against fruit2.0 at 40/30 on PIV3.01 ghz prove nothing).

I plan to release version418 today or tomorrow(

Thanks,Uri. Movei needs to the updated because it has to catch up with lot of engines in Division 1 and 2, Movei will do well.It's just that the current version doesn't play at its level in blitz 1/1.

Regards.

Crafty, Colossus, Pharaon.

I considered again releasing new version of movei and I plan to release version418 today or tomorrow(I already have slightly newer version but I did not test it enough)

You'll need to be quick to get it into this tournament Uri, because once it starts there will be no replacements.

Regards, Graham.
