Tester comments :	Daniel Charles : Thanks to Uri for Movei 386 UCI . This is just a small Gauntlets (100 games). After 100 games It is too early to draw some conclusion . However, Movei 386 was doing very well vs strong UCI engines .It is not so far from Aristarch 4.50 level (2600 elo) . average 50% versus strong UCI engines Movei scored very well vs Pepito, Ufim , Tao(80%!!!) and Yace Movei lost badly vs Pharaon , Ktulu (only 25% :( ) It fought like a warrior vs Aristarch,Anmon,SOS and Colossus (40 to 45% ) Movei UCI belong to this strong silver league top 10 to 20 best free UCI when it will be release (actually we don t know 100% for sure what is the best Movei and we will help Uri test his beta ). It is always interesting for us to test a very strong beta and new UCI engine . Thanks to Uri who spend time to add the UCI protocol to his very strong chess engine and to send us Movei 386 to test

Tester comments :	Daniel Charles : The winner with a large margin was Rybka 1.0 beta 16.5/18 and no loss . Fruit and his 2 twin brothers (Toga and GB Fruit ) scored the same total of points 12.5pts and shared 2nd place. The top 10 engines were from the golden league . Spike didn t do well on 5 mn games, probably a lot better with a long time control , His loss vs pharaon and dragon cost him to be out of the 5 engines in this tournament 10 th to 20 th are were only separated by 2 pts !!! The only strange thing is Zappa who lost some games on time or lost badly with fast time control... Of course Zappa 1.1 is a lot stronger at long time control .

I tested a intermediate version of Movei 383 UCI , this is not the best Movei , Gauntlet about the new Movei 386 UCI is coming soon probably a top 15 UCI engines . Booot 4.12 did a good tournament. Alfil show a strong improvement. This tournament was difficult for Firefly because It played against engines 100 to 500 elo stronger than him .However in his league/division Firefly perform well

Tester comments :	Graham Banks : Rybka 2.2 went through the tournament unbeaten! Junior 10 deservedly took out 2^nd spot. Fruit 2.2.1 always does well against top class opposition and its 3^rd placing was therefore no real surprise. Shredder 10 and Spike 1.2 Turin were disappointing, but this was a top field..

Tester comments :

Gajendra Singh:

Unlike the last time this time I have decided to divide the FRC engines in two divisions . The idea behind this is to let the engines of comparable strength play against each other . From the engines who took top ten places in the first tournament Gothmog_frc was excluded because

1. Glaurung from the same author is already playing in the premier division and 2. Gothmog is no longer being developed so I thought it was only fair to give another engine the chance to play in the premier division .

This meant that Movei 00_8_383 got in. My next tournament will be for the second division and top two finishers will replace the bottom two finishers of this tournament in the next premier division tournament . The placings were according to expectations ;almost too much so . Ufim scored slightly more than expected, Movei slightly less . I have no explanation for this except that perhaps this was just due to statistical noise or because 40/4 time control on a fast computer is not same as 40/4 on a slow computer like mine . Comments , questions and suggestions are welcome as always .

Regards ,

Gajendra .

Scorpio is one of the free winboard engine (probably soon the best free winboard engine) Crafty was better than I expected . Jonny didn't do a good tournament, but this verson is an old Jonny .The lastest Jonny is private . I tested the new Romichess and It was very promising managed some very good draws versus strong engine like Naum, Scorpio, Aristarch

The french tourney didn t deliver real surprise , the 3 strongest was on the final 3. Fruit 2.1 won easily the French Tournament for UCI engine 12.5/13 !!!! (only Dragon draw Fruit) Pharaon was second with 11.5/13 and Anmon the French Champion 06 came third with 10.5/13 French UCI engines are very strong with 6 UCI engines among the top 30 free UCI . NSVChess 0.14 had his first 1/2 point.

Tester comments :

Gajendra Singh:

1. I tried to include all free FRC engines . Firefly was missing because the latest version does not support FRC and I could not get the earlier version . If anybody can suggest any other free FRC engine I will be grateful .

2. Only Ufim, Hermann , Big Lion and Taktix played as UCI engines . The rest have problem with castling because incomplete implementation by Arena of the uci protocol in FRC.

3. Glaurung , Homer , Ayito, Tornado and Hamsters used polyglot ( hence the PG in the engine name ). The rest played as winboard engines .

4. I plan to run more Chess 960 tournaments so any suggestions to improve it or make it more interesting are most welcome .

Regards ,

Gajendra .
