Added 3 more Revelation Lang's to the tests:

Revelation Almeria scored ELO 2323
Revelation Portorose scored ELO 2251
Revelation Lyon scored ELO 2278

Amazingly all three scored better than Vancouver and London. The tests seem to suit the earlier Lang's better then the later Lang's.

Below is the updated rating list with all the Revelation programs tested so far:

Here are 3 more Revelation Richard Lang programs that have been tested.

Revelation Roma scored ELO 2147
Revelation Dallas scored ELO 2117
Revelation Amsterdam scored ELO 2167

It is a little surprising that Revelation Amsterdam scored the best out of the above 3.

That completes all the Revelation Richard Lang emulation programs.

Here is the updated Revelation tests list.

I completed the tests for the final 3 Revelation programs.

Revelation Rebel 5.0 scored a surprising 2256 ELO
Revelation Super Expert B scored 2110 ELO
Revelation Super Expert C scored 2122 ELO

I am also little surprised that Revelation Super Expert C performed slightly better than Diablo or Super Expert B. There are 9 style settings with Diablo and the Super Experts, perhaps I should go back sometime and check the different styles to see which come out the best for each program.

Same also applies for many of the Mephisto programs who have Active, Solid and Aggressive settings. These tests were all carried out with Active settings.

So anyway Revelation gets put away for now and here is the rating table for all the Revelation programs:

ps.. I forgot to mention that Revelation Polgar and Revelation MMV pretty much cloned the same moves in test game 4, both scoring 2188 ELO. 65 out 66 moves were played exactly the same in that game. That's the first time I have seen that outside obvious clones. In the other test games they did not repeat that. Strange....

Best regards
