Deep Sjeng seems to have improved a lot!

Deep Sjeng seems to have improved a lot!

I quite like Deep Sjeng's playing style.
I'm surprised it's not a little bit higher in the CCRL 40/40 ratings, but 400+ games don't usually lie too much.

Regards, Graham.

It seems to perform better at longer time controls I guess.
Spike would have won if this was blitz.

Strangely enough I think that Deep Sjeng 2.7 is a better blitzer if Ray's FRC testing is anything to go by.
There, Deep Sjeng is a 70+ ELO improvement over Deep Sjeng 2.5 whereas in our 40/40 they're not too far apart.

I see, I didn't test Deep Sjeng enough,Spike and Deep Sjeng seems to play at similar elo.
