One reason, it is difficult to get permission to use the Nalimov TBs, explicit permission must be granted. Shaun Yes I've heard that as well. Technically I wonder what the differences are ? Sorry I have not looked at that yet!!! I am still waiting to test Gaviota on flash v disk - I only have 8gb f...

UK prices are typically more expensive than US prices , and the tax on goods is much higher

Bump - disk prices are lower now

e.g. I can get the 'Samsung HD153WI EcoGreen F3 1.5TB SATA-II 3.5" Hard Drive' for under £60 including VAT

If possible I would download and save the CPU time for gauntlets???

I am getting a very different result between Rybka 3 Human vs StockFish 1.7.1 than vs Rybka 3. Rybka 3 Human appears to be a more difficult opponent for StockFish 1.7.1 It would be nice if someone official would run a match between these two. I am running a head to head R3 v SF1.71 I will also run ...

Shaun, I have at least 6 LaCie power supplies. None fit the new drive. I arbitralily chose the smaller of the two power supplies in the box I got from you. It works. Copying in progress. It takes several days by USB. :oops: :oops: The smaller one is the correct one ;) It took I think 12-14 hours to...

Progress made. It fights me every step of the way. I wish Shaun had not included the bad power supply. That caused an anxious moment. Back up done and I am now formatting a drive to be mailed to a player in the current CC world championship. Not much work, but very time consumming. :oops: :oops: Ke...

Okay it refers to the more normal 3-3 and 4-2 (obviously including pawns) - I don't think I have ever seen the 5-1 available as I am not sure of how useful they are?

Following an eventful time getting TB's to the US from the UK - I have an offer going forward. Sending internal / external hard drives to me for me to copy to and return adds too much risk / delay / effort IMHO. So... If you are interested in the complete 6 men TB's on a HD pm me, they are approxima...

Complete... TBs to the states, I finally worked out my costs and after a few paypal woes everything is fine. I actually asked for some of the costs in USD as I wanted to buy something in USD and it seemed more sensibe to avoid the conversion charges... But it is not easy to pay from a UK paypal acco...

I know it's 'belt and braces' but either use a verified copy or run the fsum after the copy to verify the TB's post copy.

P.S. Still waiting on a ticket number although we have a nation wide postal strike so the lack of an RMA number is not holding us up.
