For a comparison (hardware: P6-200, 64 MB): May I insert my own program in the right place? CM 5555 285 Chess Tiger 270 <<< with 16Mb hash Rebel 9 255 Hiarcs 6 255 Rebel 8 250 CM 5500 250 Fritz 5.00 245 Junior 4.6 245 Fritz 5.01 240 MChess 7 230 MChess 5 210 Crafty 12.6 205 I suppose you should also insert Genius, which does a good job on the CMB. I guess Ferret would also get a good ranking (Bruce?). As usual, I would like to say that this test has to be taken with a grain of salt. While the LCT is quite useful in giving approximate (+ - 80 pts) ranking of a NON MODIFIED program tuned to play REAL games, it is easily possible to get a very high score in the CMB part by modifying your program, even if it is a very lousy one. Those LCT "combinations" are only king attacks combinations, and don't represent statistically the wide variety of tactical positions. One of my friend has made a little experiment. He has modified (increased) all the king attack related extensions in his program. And so, he scored above 300 (about 85%) in the LCT CMB. Of course, this version of his program didn't play better at all. I would like to add that Chess Tiger has not been modified to get a high score in the LCT CMB. The settings I'm currently using were choosen to give the best results in real games, not on test suites. I never ran the WAC or ECM tests for example. Christophe
