Subject: Temporary Pawn restriction.

Due to some recent posts the ability of pawns to post immediately to this baord has been curtailed. You may continue to post but they will need to be approved by a moderator before they are viewable by all.

The matter will be reviewed in due course.

Is this valid to complete Pawns also or only to these that have been cut in half?

LOL!

I finished the games with Comet B68 and Smirf 156 lost again both 2 games.... I guess you are correct and Smirf can't play well blitz games.... So i will not try against Fritz 5.32 or Horizon 4.1.
I think i will play 2 longer time control games against an engine i haven't decided yet.
I will choose between: Arasan 8.4(2nd division) or Kiwi 0.6(3rd division) or Horizon 4.1(4th division). I guess Arasan is too strong for Smirf but since it's one of my favourite engines i guess i will try it.....

Until now with time controls 10 sec/move:

█████████████████████████████
████SMIRF - List = 0-2█████████████
█████████████████████████████
------------------------------------
█████████████████████████████
████SMIRF - Comet = 0-2████████████

█████████████████████████████

Upcoming with time controls 30 sec/move:

█████████████████████████████

████SMIRF 156 - Arasan 8.4██████████

█████████████████████████████

Subject: Re: probing SMIRF at 8x8

Pythagoras: Well, Comet and Arasan seem to be well fitting opponents. Thus negative experiences using SMIRF should give hints, where it needs to be improved.
