Combos (with 3-8 analysis engines and a good decision algorithm) seems to me an interesting alternative in computer chess. CombiChess_10_64_ja is clearly a superb achievement!

A sample from the above match:



For those interested in my match CombiChess_10_64_ja versus Dragon-3.3-64bit-avx2 I announce that I expanded it into a tournament between CombiChess_10_64_ja and the best 15 engines from the UHO-Top15 Engines Ratinglist (except Torch, of course). It is much more relevant than 2-3 matches.

Autumn always comes with a bit of nostalgia. So....six engines from an old ChessBase CD (twenty-four years have already passed)-YOUNG TALENTS. Unfortunately, the seventh engine on the CD (Patzer 3.11) does not work on Fritz 8 GUI (it works perfectly on Fritz 6 GUI instead). I also added four guests: Nimzo 8-Fritz 5.32-Anaconda 2.0.1 (ancestor of the last three Fritz masterpieces) & Gambit Tiger 2.0:
