More Details:
-------------
•BIG Thanks to All Visitors,personally i did not expect that there will be a such big interest...
*Note:SCCT LIVE:2289 Views (in less than 3 days period of time)
•SSE42 versions (i mean for engines,which are optimized for i7 processors) have been played
•Swiss Crosstable is created by Scid 4.3
•This is a Swiss tournament,of course for a better/accurate conclusion more games are needed
•But however,in my opinion some engines perform better on faster machines and slow time control
*For example,even on my old quads- the older version of Stockfish performed 2nd:

•Note also that almost all rating lists are based on blitz or on older machines or one 1 core
•So...its time to start testing the engines at maximum performance and full strength
•In other words,we need a new decent rating list,which should be based on latest fast processors and with slow time control
•More information coming soon about the current issue-decent rating list with slow time control
