Re: Back to R3/IPPOLIT(/R4?)



As for IPPOLIT... It seems that the authors took a special care not to copy anything literally. As I mentioned earlier, I am now digging into R3 internals, and the deeper I go the more I am convinced that IPPOLIT was written from scratch (although with heavy R3 influence).

Re: Houdini now included in CEGT rating List


PS: Roger Brown, I'm not attacking you or attempting to make you look bad. Far from it. I do think that people need to understand how Rybka forum moderators/CCRL react & operate in response to engines, especially free engines, better than Rybka in the commercial field.

Re: Terminating the ChessGUI project.



[SNIP]

We understand you do this only for fun and sincerely appreciate it, but quitting or terminating the project because of a couple minor bugs is just silly -- there's just no other word to describe it. Perhaps a short break from the project is what's needed.

Re: Deep Rybka 4 download?

Is this for real, legal?


No, it is not legal for you to bring links to pirated software into this forum.



Hello Matthias,

Indeed, it appears that this forum is keenly read as this post was highlighted over by Talkchess.

Re: ChessGUI 0.197 is out.



Hi Roger,

when the programming becomes far more work than fun, it's time to make a long pause.
But I am happy to leave behind a usable thing. Will you solve testsuites with it ?

Bye,
Matthias.


Hello Matthias,

You do know that I use it for that purpose already, right?. Or have you added ...

ChessGUI 0.197b is out.
NalimovPath was sometimes not sent to engine.



Hello Matthias,

It is refreshing that your enthusiasm for battle remains as high as ever.

I refer to the unceasing struggle to add and support features for a free gui.

Thanks much.

Now if you were able to get it to look ...

Re: A public thanks to Robert Houdart

Well, thanks Robert for Houdini.

Opinions are like armpits. Everybody has more than one and they usually stink.
Forget about the criticism.

Re: Time to stop buying expensive software

It was SecuROM, beware of software that is protected by SecuROM as the same can happen to you. It was a software based attack, it changed the writing of the burner to analog and disabled it in many parts of the OS, after I got rid of SecuROM and restored my previous settings, the burner could only ...

Re: Time to stop buying expensive software

I don't think software needs to be open source to be good, common freeware will do the trick. I also use OpenOffice but for CD Burning I use ImgBurn, that is not only free, I consider it much better than Nero.

In general I agree with you, I didn't buy The Sims 3 even though I'm a great fan of god ...
