<title>Update Information: October 28, 2013</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Posting by Ron, Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 00:16:</em></p><p><p><span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Engine Updates</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Crafty 23.7 (WB)</span></strong><br />
C++ source; mp; limit strength; Win32/64<br />
- looks like a minor bug-fix release with no Elo implications<br />
- I had to click through several messages complaining that I had ads and tracking blocked<br />
- once past the complaints, there was an additional 10 second delay<br />
- I nominate Peter Skinner's kikrtech for the title of &quot;most annoying chess website&quot;<br />
