Inmichess 3.02 was funny enough one of the last I got working.
Problem for me was just in config Inmi_301 which I had changed
to inmi_302 but the engine is called inmi302 with no _ after
changing the config to inmi302 it works fine.
Although I have not much experience with the strength of these
programs SSEChess seems to me very strong.
Thanks

Why you didn't include Bionic, which is by strength in my opinion among first 10 winboard engines...

For two reasons:
1) Bionic is a Crafty clone.
2) It's not being developed further.
I didn't include LambChop for similar reasons.

The new inmichess seems to work well in Fritz gui, but in winboard it loses on time like clockwork ). SSEChess is a tad weaker than EXchess 3.11, but just as good at Blitz. It beats me anywat, which is by no means a great achievement.

No, I should have been more precise. LambChop is an old version of developing program, which is no longer available to the public. I also have an older version of Insomniac, but I decided on developing and publicly available programs for this tournament. Hope the unclarity has lifted beyond groundlevel.
