Thanks for your tests Thorstenczub (also thanks to Martin and others). I made a 64-bit PGO build for Tinapa 1.01.

If you would like to include Tinapa1.01 PGO-MsVS2010-x64 build in your tests, you can get it here http://www.open-chess.org/viewtopic.php ... 6&start=50
The regular build for Tinapa1.01 x64 can be found here http://www.open-chess.org/viewtopic.php ... 6&start=40

The intel C++ build asks for a specific dll which can not be fixed by downloading the dll in question. There are no compatible dll from the interent. So I recommend to skip the Tinapa1.01 x64 Intel C++ build. It's useless.


Prima.

The machine i am running this tournament is a intel t7600 notebook.
the OS is vista64 bit.
i don't think PGO would work... or ?

Well try it and see to be sure. I don't own a notebook so I wouldn't know about this.

In the second link I provided, the Tinapa 1.01 x64, regular non-PGO build, should work in your notebook.

Spike should never be accused of imitation. It is a shark if there is a tiny drop of blood in the water.

Although it isn't as strong as some of the others, Spike has a special place in my heart for the style it plays. I have also noticed it is much faster at solving most super-deep checkmates than other engines _unless_ the position is too zugzwangy. Zugzwang detection could be bettter but apart from that a real treasure.

Spike should never be accused of imitation. It is a shark if there is a tiny drop of blood in the water.

As long as Spike does not plagiarize codes. Or if it did, its refusal to acknowledge source of code copied. For an engine to be accused as clone or plagiarist, it had to have copied codes. So far, Rybka, Houdini, Loop, etc. fits the later criteria.

If you define plagiarism as stealing ideas, then most chess engines are plagiarized works.
