Chess engine blitz tournament no 2

xxx
My last experiment was to limit hash table to 256MB with the same other settings and results are surprisingly totally different.
RobboLito gained first place, exequo with Fire Bird and IvanHoe! Rybka 2.2n2 and Fritz 11 were killed totaly!!
I will continue tests with different settings.

Chess engine blitz tournament no 1

Lately I started to be more and more familiar with chess engines.
It is my early beggining and I am not going to pretend an expert.

I found on the internet several free chess engines and started to test them on my not so efficient platform.

I found many fascinating opinion on RobboLito so I made a small test.

Result: Robbolito 0.09 is not as perfect as some people think.
Of course settings have a big influnce on results and you can manipulate them in order to justify your thesis.
I used defaulted settings for each engine, hash table 512MB, TB 3-4-5, Fritz GUI.
