You can have a look at www.linuxchess.org. I collect some packages, that are not releasable in the debian distribution there. A direct link to the debian packages of some engines, that are not in the distribution is here: http://oko00.hostsharing.net/debian/ Stockfish 1.5 is on my plan... I have made many tourneys in between glaurung, toga and stockfish. The conclusion is that stockfish 1.4 already scores best. But toga and glaurung have good knowledge in some positions, where stockfish fails. All of them are very, very strong. I would like to add scorpio to this list either. Here is a rating list made of 1500 games, with different time controls: ResultSet-EloRating>ratings Rank Name Elo + - games score oppo. draws 1 stockfish 223 18 18 1001 60% 158 36% 2 toga 172 18 18 943 50% 170 35% 3 glaurung 133 18 18 1004 43% 178 35% 4 scorpio 0 54 54 132 25% 175 27% Inbetween stockfish, toga and glaurung are 40-50 Elo points, that is NOT much. I use the following Versions: Toga II 1.4 Beta5c (2 Threads) Glaurung 2.2 Stockfish 1.4 scorpio 2.2 They are all OpenSource. If you use them in scid it is good to know, that only stockfish and glaurung are able to show more than one variant to the move that is actually calculated. This is very useful if you analyze any games by hand. (Use the ^ Buttons in the Engine Window, to increase the number of variants (only possible with UCI- engines)) Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
