Likewise, I completely suspend any TACTICAL update (In its place you have Khalid's Polyfish and SF that Skynet adds PB to it)... The last update of TACTICAL was the one that played in Mr. Sedat's tournament.

Well, shashchess and brainlearn reappeared on the scene and on the other hand, OrgZ presents very good engines, this certainly makes me consider that there is already a large overload of engines derived from stockfish. Likewise, CED presents in their tours something called YuliGM (Who knows what it means) and Apocalipsis also offers a Pro version of stockfish. There are other engines called Luttefish (I think that's how it is) and Hystrix, without forgetting Eman (half private and half public) and the engines that Solidor presents from time to time (also each and every one derived from stockfish), so without a doubt the computer chess lovers are more than satisfied.

I will open a new thread updating Crystal once a month without changing the name, just adding PB. (I hope to release the first update this coming Monday).

Thank you very much for your attention, I only wish you have a wonderful weekend.

About Dark SisTer and SpecTral, are my private engines, and in the next weeks they will be playing at lichess as bots.

Best regards.

Dear friend Anton.
It surely won’t be the same beta testing my patches without your latest engines being part of the test.
The difference b2n me and you is that your patches are aligning with latest sf devs, whereas mine are not bcz am still exploring and admire the old one better. So you see all these engines are unique.
But the choice is yours buddy

Dear Mr. Anton

Sad to read that you are not going to release anymore
Newer engine versions of Tactical and Cool Iris
I like them really..they are one of my favorites!

But on other hand, I give you understanding...
Life is not only chess...sometimes by myself
I am thinking to drop my chess tempo...
You know...but when you love much chess,
It is hard to stay far away...

Anyhow, take care and stay safe...
And wishing you good luck in Lichess

Greetings )

Hi! You once mentioned something about opening your own website someday. When will we see it?

A huge loss to our chess community very sad times indeed.

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:48 pm**

I was precisely asking about it, about the latest versions for the last tours of my bullet tournaments. I think there are people who put so much pressure on others that they only share knowledge, that it stresses them out to such a point that they prefer to quit.
Bad news from chesscomputer.
Regads, Anton.

Due to Eduard Nemeth's unusual interest in corchess and continually updating this engine and adding PB or changing the nnue network for larger ones (Not necessarily better), I have decided not to continue with Cool Iris.”

That really seems like a childhood on your part, not to mention otherwise...
Only you are allowed to make changes to CorChess ?!
Do you have a monopoly on CorChess ?

Let's be serious. Stop behaving like a scratched child whose toy has been taken away.
I know that ” truth upsets ”, but it must be said.

All the best.

I like the big network. We also like playing with MinimumThinkingTime on Playchess. I also create Polyglot books, which are available on my homepage. I don't see anything that I did wrong. For all fans of self-learning, Anton could continue to offer his engine Cool Iris. That would be nice.

One more thing: I have more success on Lichess with the large network. There are more wins, especially against weaker engines! The large network avoids move repetitions because the evaluation is different. While the standard network shows 0.00 and another variant also evaluates it as 0.00, the large network outputs a slightly positive value and avoids repetitions. Note: Stockfish vs. Stockfish is not played everywhere. And where the opponent isn't called Stockfish, the big network is clearly better!!

Correct me if i'm wrong but Anton shared his cool Iris to all public but yours are closed only to a select few so you both could cohabit as such.
