Hi Ralf, Thanks for the statistics! Considering that Spike has been available one week shorter, it seems to be slightly more popular than Glaurung (which is not unxepected, since Spike is clearly the stronger engine). >Spike 1.0a Mainz was downloaded 3356 times since August 31 2005. > >I remember that Spike 0.7 was initially < 500 times downloaded, but this raised >with the success of the next versions. > >spike_10a.zip 3356 Aug 31, 2005 >spike_10.zip 2708 Aug 16, 2005 >spike_09a.zip 2196 Apr 20, 2005 >spike_08a.zip 1363 Nov 21, 2004 >spike_07.zip 1207 Sep 07, 2004 >spike_11.zip 1158 Feb 06, 2006 >spike_09.zip 977 Mar 20, 2005 >spike_bb_08.zip 784 Nov 21, 2004 Here are my numbers for previous versions: Glaurung Mainz: 761 Glaurung 1.0: 571 Glaurung 1.0.1: 1074 Glaurung 1.0.2: 1341 The number for Glaurung Mainz is far too low, because only the downloads after the September 22 2005 (when www.glaurungchess.com was opened) are counted. The numbers for 1.0 and 1.0.1 are also not very interesting, because these versions were only available for a few days before being replaced with a bugfixed version. >Usually the downloads are rising with some success in tournaments like WBEC, >CEGT or others, and participating in events like CCT or IPCCC is also better - >so how is about Glaurung in CCT8 ;-) > >It would be nice to see you there! If I am in the town that weekend and my SMP version is ready for serious games, there is a chance that I will be there. :-) Tord
