Hi Lucas

Yes, you're completely right - this is where I really lack discipline. I have been using SVN, that has helped.

The main problem, as I'm sure you know the feeling, is that you sit down to program one change/idea, intending to check and double check everything with Asserts. Then, you should ...

I use the winboard engine Sharper for verification - it has a divide command straight ...

No problem, so did I!

Thanks for the list, there is a lot of variation in there.

Merry Christmas

Hi Alex

An interesting idea!

Are you planning to do more of this, perhaps over other strength settings?

I've recently been playing chess again, I'm a weak player, and I found the adjusted strength settings of engines varied - better was to use the weaker engines from the 5th division of the WBEC ...

Hi Richard,

Please review this thread on why the mutliple moves were removed from the STS stat folder: (but STS stat could still recognize the move and award scores from multiple choices)

Thanks!

I have tried just about every version of ip* that is available in source form. In a single 30,000 test run on my cluster, where one opponent (say ip* would play 6,000 games) I get hundreds of core.nnn files from the thing crashing. It wins enough games to show it is very strong, but the crashes ...
