I'm going to start my Super WB tournament tonight with the following specifications.
Computer: PII-266MHz/64Mb.
Gameformat: Double round robin (13 rounds).
Timecontrol: 40 moves in 100 minutes.
Hash: 16Mb (+2Mb cache) when possible.
Tablebases: 3, 4 and some 5 piece Nalimov.
Engines (newest version): Amy, AnMon, Ant, Arasan, Bringer, Comet, Crafty, Francesca, Gromit, Inmichess, LG2000, Phalanx, SOS and TCB.
Sincerely,
Mogens

This looks to be an *excellent* tournament between the very top freely available engines.
Suggestion:
Replace Ant with Zchess. I think Zchess is stronger. On the other hand, I like the way that Ant plays, so do whatever you like.

If I had a newer ZChess version then maybe, but I'm quite sure that Ant won't end last. The problem is, that I'm upgrading my machine within this month, so I'll probably have to swap machines at some point. This might skew the results, but since it's only chess fun, it'll be okay I think.
Best wishes...
