SMIRF Engine:
Thanks but this version is only the 1.1.1-0252 Beta
Pythogoras say that he tests a version 1.1.7?

Pythagoras:
You quote a version Smirf 1.17 beta.
Since the site of Smirf, the last version that I downloaded is the 1.1.1
Can you say to me how you obtained this version 1.1.7 ?

SMIRF Engine:
Does that want to say that the Version 1.1.0-0251-Beta
Test Smirf free until 2005/09/30 which I used, does
not have its maximum power and that one needs of the key even before the expiry the trial period to obtain that it plays on its maximum level?

Yes, in the two games against Zillions, it is astonishing all the same that SMIRF could be let take, without counterpart, either a Bishop or a Rook.

Zillions is not a program specific to a type of game. It
is a multi-games program without specific engine for each game. For the majority of the games, it plays on a very low level.
I thus hoped that SMIRF plays in a higher way so that it can be taken as model to improve my personal play.
I would thus wait to buy SMIRF the
future improvements.

SMIRF Engine:
OK thanks!
I cannot answer you on that: that exceeds my data-processing
competences :-)

SMIRF Engine:
OK, below the PGN of a second second (I had not saved the
first). For this second, I reversed the colors: SMIRF has the blacks
for this game.
As for the first game, I regulated the two programs with 30 sec. per move.
I stopped the game at the 40° move because SMIRF had
already a Rook + 2 pawns in less.

What do you want to say?
Don't I have the last version?
I specify that at the 20° move against Zillions, SMIRF lost a Bishop against a Pawn.

SMIRF Engine:
As I wrote in my preceding message, I downloaded SMIRF this morning.
Here provided indications in "Help" --> "About" :
Version 1.1.0-0251-Beta
Test Smirf free until 2005/09/30

I downloaded this morning the version of test of SMIRF.
To give me an idea of the level of this program, I made play SMIRF
against Zillions for the game of Janus chess with the adjustment of 30 sec. by move.
I was very surprised to note that after about the 20 first moves, Zillions had taken the advantage clearly.
Can you explain me the reasons?

Is this someone knows a internet link of a site which proposes a list
of openings for Janus chess?
