Tucano vs Fritz 13 :(

Unfortunately Tucano doesn't work in Fritz 13 GUI. So I paired Tucano vs Houdini 1.5a instead.

After 7 games, it was already clear that Tucano could not reach the monster's eye yet.

Latest Chess Engine - Tucano (Toucan pecks hard !!!??)

Despite the huge number of existing chess engines out there, chess programmers continue to release new engines (or update their existing chess engines). From the 1st January 2012 to 9 Sept 2012 at least 99 new/updated chess engines were produced (as published in wbec-ridderkerk)

At the point of my writing, the latest addition was Tucano. The name is derived from a bird named Toucan ( (look at this site: tucanochess) . Let see how Toucan pecks (or pecked by) one of the latest top commercial engine, Fritz 13. Result will be published in my next posting.
