Thank you Swaminathan,

Your results match generally mine. I did mine with the 64bit executable on a slightly faster PC (2.6Ghz). I also used the command line parameters of Plisk (which allows it to take an epd file and spew out stats) which can have bugs, so I trust your results more.

The STS8 test is the hardest one for my engine (and I noticed for quite a few engines out there). I guess that is an area where I need to improve.

Regards,
Vlad.

Hi Vlad,

You've made a good progress with the engine, the strength in general appears to improve. Ofcourse, I do have a bit old system with only 32 bits which may explain why the results are little bit lower than yours.

Yes, STS8 is the toughest for all engines, but then it's less crucial/less important relative to other Epd's. Some engines seem to perform better at STS8 than in STS9.

Best Wishes,
Swami
