Firstly i would like to congratulate the creators of CCRL, wich is awasome for those who want more information about engines rating list. It is extremely organisated, trustfull and updated.
This s my first message here, so i tried to use the forum's "search" system on the forum but i didn't find the information I seek. Actually, I have 2 questions if anyone can help me:
1) What's up with Ruffian 1.0.1 and SlowChess? I have just got it and matched it, but their think lines as so similar. Evaluation scores, moves and ELO differences are too small. Do they come from the same programmers or something like it?
2) Where can I find a downloable version of Scorpio 1.8?
I am making myself a 4'+2'' engine tournment, would you be intersted on the results or tablebases?
Thanks everyone for your patience.

Re: Question: Scorpio 1.8
Hi Mas! Thanks for regards and comments! This is new information to me! I did not notice they have similar evaluations and moves. We will try to check it! Ruffian and Slow Chess Blitz come from different programmers. We will run some games to find the correlation between them.Mr Mas wrote:Firstly i would like to congratulate the creators of CCRL, wich is awasome for those who want more information about engines rating list.

Re: Question: Scorpio 1.8
It seemed to me really equal one to another, and so the matches results. After 20 games, SlowChess started to have an advantage, maybe because it's newer, maybe because of its learning curve. Anyway, I would like to get the feedback on your tests.Kirill Kryukov wrote: I did not notice they have similar evaluations and moves. We will try to check it!

I'm sorry. I'm such a newbie. How should I use a .rar engine on Fritz 9?Kirill Kryukov wrote: You can download it at WBEC.

Re: Question: Scorpio 1.8
rar is an archive, similar to zip. You have to extract it first. The engine is inside the archive, compressed. To extract it you should use any archiever software that can understand RAR format, for example 7-Zip program can extract it. You can download 7-Zip for free from this site.Mr Mas wrote:How should I use a .rar engine on Fritz 9?
And don't worry, everyone is a newbie once in a while.

PM me with your email address and I will forward you a single zip file that you can unzip in the engines directory.
That will probably be the best way to get you up and running.
