The Jim Ablett or Denis Mendosa builds are faster. If you have not downloaded them yet then please consider using one of them. Thanks.
Sure, I'll download it.

Overall average score: Best 7 Division scores out of 10 you participate in, will be taken into account. So no risk in making the guess in one of the division.

I would like to win at least one edition Ulysses. After all, me and Swami test at the same time controls, I even have a goddamn rating list.

well, that explains how you performed so well in the last 2 divisions. Always go for the ones that you know are higher rated even if you had to not choose Romi in case it's not amongst the higher rated in your ratings list. :wink:

Romi is the highest rated in this division. The problem is that I have not tested the latest versions of counter, Queen, Horizon, or Greko, and I dont have enough games with Bringer.

An interesting alternate guessing scheme then would be to allow everyone to pick 4 engines, but, only count their top three. The 4th can be used for tiebreak.

This is a very interesting solution. The problem is that people will say that if the 4th picked engine can't be followed, then it will be unfair for people with a bad time zone that don't get to pick their favorite 4th engine, if it's already picked.
