Cool Iris 10.40

[Peter]

Cool Iris is a derivative of corchess, adding the stockfish dev patches 070324, uses the Q-Learning code from BrainLearn 27 with the improved CTG/Polyglot code by Khalid, Omar.

Hi!
Thanks for new version but if CoolIris now uses BrainLearn- code without possibility to choose names for .exp- files as before, old learn- files can't be used anymore, can they?
Cool Iris now will read and write experience.exp (only) like BrainLean does?

And the internal MultiPV- mode (Random Op. MultiPV) doesn't exist anymore?
That was a feature I liked much,

Hi Peter!

I made the decision not to continue using a defragmentation tool from another engine, like SugaR or any other engine. The BrainLearn learning system does not need any tools for this purpose. I feel that it is a step of greater independence for Cool Iris.

On the other hand, I can add the Random options in the next version. Which I'm already working on.

Hope you all the best.

Regards;

Thanks for the prompt answer!
So experience.exp is the only one name for the learning file from now on, and the old .exp- files cannot be used anymore. And Cool Iris needs to be installed in other one directory but BrainLearn or ShashChess not to use same learning file. Guess merging different experience- files will work now the way it does with BrainLearn too.
Thank you also for the intention to add internal MultiPV again, it helps for analysis now and then,

[Anton101]

That's right, you can merge the experience files according to how they are done in BrainLearn, I tell you that the Learn.cpp code or Learn.h has not changed anything, so Cool Iris will use the Q-Learning system, from BrainLearn 27. If you like, I can place a .exp file of Cool Iris for free download and you can try it.

If you like, I can place a .exp file of Cool Iris for free download and you can try it.

Thanks, there is one in the download I got, but I'm rather creating a new one already. I know the way of learning of BrainLearn (ShashChess) quite well anyhow,

[Anton101]

Ok... All the best and many thanks for your observations.

Testing new version at this moment...For wednesday will be ready Cool Iris 12.10

you only have to type engine.exe defrag nameoftheexpfile.exp to defrag the learning file!

Brainlearn learning system is much worse than Eman learning!

[Peter]

you only have to type engine.exe defrag nameoftheexpfile.exp to defrag the learning file!

C:\...>Brainlearn26.5-x86-64-bmi2.exe defrag experience.exp
Brainlearn 26.5 by K. Kiniama, A. Manzo and the Brainlearn developers (see AUTHORS file)
Unknown command: 'defrag experience.exp '. Type help for more information.

I always use the experience_tracker.exe from Manzo's site with
experience_tracker.exe experience.exp

I always use the experience_tracker.exe from Manzo's site with command
experience_tracker.exe experience.exp
having both binaries in same directory.
With this one version of mine I then have to rename experience_fixed.bin to experience.exp again but that works for me,

Sorry Peter,

my command is for Eman like exp files.
Manto stated his learning needs no defragmentation.
