Arasan 16.0

http://www.arasanchess.org

Changes in Arasan 16.0:
1) Improvements to multi-core and multi-processor performance: limit
global memory usage, do dynamic adjustment of split depth.
2) Change book format, book weights are 0..100 not 0..10 now. New
larger opening book is included with Arasan binaries.
3) Book selectivity logic changed (again).
4) Fix bug in 50-move draw detection.
5) Move sorting no longer uses node counts; now an initial sort is
done by move score, then subsequently PV moves are moved to the front
each iteration, keeping other moves in the same order.
6) Check extensions are more limited now. Overall limit on extensions
at high ply counts from root is removed.
7) Search time can be extended more in case of fail-low or resolving a
fail-high.
8) Aspiration window changes. Fix bug that can cause array overflow in
aspiration window code.
9) Somewhat experimental self-play code added for testing (not enabled
in release builds by default).
10) Numerous adjustments to evaluation weights.
11) Score pawnless KRB vs KR and KRN vs KR as draws.
12) Bug fix: allow resignation when in fixed depth search and depth<=1.
13) Fix bug in handling of fail_high_root flag.
14) Convert to conditional variables for thread synchronizaton on Linux
+ Mac (fixes Mac OS problem where semaphores may not be cleaned up
on exit).
15) Fix stack size for threads on Mac OS (avoids bus error crash in deep
searches).

Problem Question about certain engines

$
0
0
I do not mind if these engines are 100% original or not but I was just curious about the origin of some of the following engines. Any thing you could tell me would be appreciated. If they are from another engine that is fine, I was just curious what people did to make such strong engines.

1. Bouquet- I think Velmarin made this engine.

2. Equinox-

3. Gull-

4. Protector - I guess this is based on toga.

5. Chiron


Thanks again! :sm55:

stockfish210713 vs houdini 3 pro

1) Both engines are 32 bit
2) cpu: İ7 3770 8 threads ponder off. 14 MN at fritzmark
3) 1024 mb hash for each
4) no opening books. silversuite pgn. First 25 openings.Total 50 games.
5) Time control: 60m + 30 s

Tournament is in progress and ı want to finish it in 2-3 weeks. I will post the results every 10 games. I will post pgn. I saw that stockfish 210713 is clearly stronger than houdini 3 pro at slow time controls. I had doubts about that before but I am sure now. Houdini has got a very good time managament, so it is better and best at bullet and blitz type games. Stockfish had to settle for a draw because of time pressure at 2 games.I will repeat this tournament with 1m+ 0s time control.

From Talkchess ..
During last weeks, I gleaned a lot of links about old time computer chess.
(I search a way to compile about all this informations in 3 or 4 html or text files at max.)
Sometimes other pages are very interesting on the same site.
(5% of links may be not accurate)

Here are the links :

Checkmate: Members of IBM’s Deep Blue Team Discuss the World of Computer Chess ... http://worldsciencefestival.com/vide...g_icheckmate_i



Not long ago, the idea of a computer beating a human at chess was the stuff of science fiction. But some of the most creative programmers of the 1980s and 90s were determined to make it a reality. And they did. In two matches that riveted the world, Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer, took on the brilliant world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and finally the computer won. Check out WSF’s fascinating discussion with computer scientist Murray Campbell, and grand master Joel Benjamin, two key members of IBM’s team involved in the epic match-up between man and machine. This discussion took place during the event Checkmate: How Computer Chess Changed the World on Saturday, June

Morphy chess engine

From talkchess ... Hello together,

https://github.com/dmarce1/MorphyChess seems to be a new XBoard-compatible chess engine .

Perhaps someone of you can make Linux / Windows etc. binaries of that program.

It has nothing to do with Morphy by Eric Walstra which is available on the
WBEC-Ridderkerk website.

Best wishes,
Norbert .... I have placed a Cygwin compile here:
