More Details / Conditions: Book Settings (for all players): Book Learning ON, Optimized, 0/100 128 MB Hash for 1st Test, 2nd and 3rd are played with 512 MB Hash Due to according to my testings, Rybka performed better with 128MB For maximum book and engine performance For each testing: separate folder of engines and books are installed... 19 lost games on time are replayed (played mainly by Houdini 4) But however this issue is solved, e.g with disabling NUMA in BIOS After this action, I could not see any time loses by Houdini 4 engine SF200620MZ has no any lost game on time, plus in previous tours too Note also that, To organize such kind of tours are not so easy as it looks! One mistake and all is gone! Of course, the most important thing is to do the right .. Sure I am doing my best...and I hope you like my efforts!)
Have Fun, Sedat
