i tested on 1 core and long time control, and crab 64 bit was stronger than rybka 64 bit.

[jmartus]

i'm more interested in blitz and 4 cores though also doesn't matter the engine if one of the derivatives or not

[thorstenczub]

i see. sorry but blitz is not interesting for me.

A lot of engines claim to be stronger, particularly the IP* series. The tests don't seem to bear this out.

I wouldn't know about Ivanhoe. I've never been able to get any of the various versions to work on my Win7 system.

Looking at the IPON Rating List I do not see much difference between Deep Rybka 4 and Houdini 1.03a (none that I can understand that is) except a ~100$ gap in price.

Hi Thorsten
I agree ... a serious chess player is much more interested in analysing games and what
the engines are doing at blitz level is therefore quite irrelevant.

thanks kurt. i would say that there are chess engines stronger than rybka 4 on
NON blitz levels.

only most people do not test them.
