tts 3sec conditions

More Details:• TTs ranking is a quite good indicator of which are the best engines for tactics * To be honest, I see my current TTs testing to be similar as IQs testing !) • I preferred 600 test positions, which mostly of them can be called 'Tactical' * I consider to publish my used EPD database after when X engine will pass Houdini 4's points • For more reliable standings: the Top 3 chess engines are tested twice * After repeating the same chess engine version: usually the difference is 1 point • I plan to continue working over this project, but mainly with +2200 Elo and above... * Due to many amateur engines (weaker than 2200 Elo) have serious bugs in analyze mode • If some +2200 Elo engines are missing in TTs ranking, then with a big possibility: - Those ones have bugs during analyzing or simply they don't support analyze mode • TTs official ranking includes only (since 30.08.2015) :

1) Public and strongest engine versions

2) Engines, which are up to 55% similarity (+56% out)

* Exception there will be for:

- Private engines, in case of better performance than the leader (Houdini 4)

- Derivative engines: in case of +20 points better than based original engine

- Clone engines: in case of +100 points better than based original engine

* Houdini 4 (based mainly on Rybka) managed to do that...why not other engine?!

* Otherwise, TTs standing will be based mainly on Stockfish / Rybka derivatives or clones * Some useful sim test results, which are with +55% similarity to Stockfish and Rybka:
