very very few engines lost on time, I have watched quite a dozen matches myself, and they play exactly like a 2000 rated :lol:

Just to let you know ZZZZZZ v3.4.3 update available from my homepage.

What's new:
1. Added some code to help ZZZZZZ when winning
to avoid 3-fold-rep draws.
2. Evaluation/search changes/adjustments.
3. Removed more redundant code from the source.

A little stronger in my tests.

Also I'd like to replace Freyr with Small Potato in my selection.

Jim.

Honestly even I didn't have an idea about which 10 engines I'd pick to put up in options out of these 41. :lol:

Sorry Swami another update. ZZZZZZ v3.4.4.
I left something out of v3.4.3 by mistake which seriously weakened it.
This is definitely the last update, at least for a while. I'm moving on to other projects now.

Jim.
