Spirit 040825 - new chess engine by Solista (Stockfish derivatives)
Author: This engine contains the code from Omega 10 and also implements all current Stockfish updates. Random mode has been removed here!! Some people don't like this mode and prefer to use the normal Multi-PV mode. During analysis you notice that Stockfish is becoming more and more selective in its search. Some positions are solved in the blink of an eye and with others the engine crashes into an endless loop at high speed. If you want to analyze seriously you can't avoid the Multi-Variation mode, as in Fritz --> Image and in CB 18 --> Image2 & Image3. I recommend three variations for Spirit, as in the image. Since computers are getting faster and faster, the only potential for improvement in Stockfish I see is that the MultiPV mode should actually be used. Otherwise some things are increasingly not found in analyses. Without the MultiPV mode I can no longer warm to Stockfish and since you can only play in Random mode I will of course mostly use Omega.
