Sorry, but I did not see this untill just now.

I voted for Alfil and other (Arion), however, since I see that you have already posted some results ... oh well!

If Hamsters did not have a bug in the search somewhere then I would have picked Hamsters!

Alessandro has identified what behavior the bug is causing, but he has not found where it is occuring. When Alessandro does fix this bug then you can expect a nice jump in playing strength by Hamsters!

OBTW Swami, did you recieve the new Romi beta?

It's okay Michael, I would wait for your vote before posting any preliminary results.

Hamsters is doing so far okay and it just needs to improve quite bit.
OBTW Swami, did you recieve the new Romi beta?
Yes,Thanks Michael. :)

Hi Daniel,

Yes,Homer definitely need to improve its play in blitz and it just doesn't play at its own level just like Little Thought in the previous division.

A lot of people test engines at blitz and that includes Tony, Uri, Marc and some of the people who don't often post results for they have either less attention span or this fishcer time control interests them a lot, It's just a fun and fast tournament :) and you would get immediate division results for you engine.

Oh well - can't win 'em all! :lol:

I'm surprised at how well this version of Xpdnt did for you.
We removed it from CCRL testing because it was performing abysmally weaker than the previous version.

Yes,That engine did a great performance especially in the end,that was un predictable.Winning most of the games when it was around in the middle of the table.

Maybe the previous version was good at longer time controls,maybe it's good at fast time controls,it really is good :)

Same reason why I didnt pick xpdnt. The first version of Xpdnt won my 3rd division, but for some reasons the next versions werent so successful.
