To be honest, I don't see much point in testing it, it's just a normal Mida, probably using a Stockfish net.

I have just compiled this using the -static flag so it will include everything needed (I think).

Will delete it soon to save space.

I don't understand why Mida 2 generates an NNUE file when it is already integrated in the exe.

They run OK here without additional DLL's.

It seems hash table is fixed at some low value, is that true? Anyway, gauntlet is in progress.

Splendid! Downloaded, will start a tournament tomorrow so that it can reach next week's blitz update.

In my testing it has been showing an improvement so far.

Hi Giacomo,

I was not expecting this. Just this morning did I start a tournament for version 1.2.1.

On the list now. Further testing in progress to make the error margins narrower.

I was about to post that I have just started a gauntlet with it.

I expect it to appear on this week's update.

Or this one? See move 32. Could be some strange Arena bug but I have never seen such a thing before. [Event "CederChess 1 - Aug 15"] [Site "Szentendre"] [Date "2023.08.16"] [Round "29"] [White "CederChess 1"] [Black "Neurone XXVII"] [Result...

How about this? Look at move 58. I wonder why Arena let the game continue. [Event "CederChess 1 - Aug 15"] [Site "Szentendre"] [Date "2023.08.16"] [Round "31"] [White "CederChess 1"] [Black "Project Invincible 2.10"] [Result "1-0"...

Hi Nik,

I have taken note of your request and I've put your engine in y testing queue. I think I can start testing it in a couple of days if other things go as planned.

Hi Claus, Your engine is on the list. However, there were issues. Here is what the processing scripts have found. I also attach the PGN I submitted for processing.

I released v1.0.1. Same as the original, but with windows binaries and compilable without BMI2 instructions. https://github.com/teswayze/rengar/releases/tag/v1.0.1 The BMI2 exe you provide does not run on my PC, it complains of several missing DLL's. I tried the makefile but it issued uncountable e...

Not very patient, actually. Owing to its fast play my tournament will be finished today and CederChess is going to appear on this week's update, probably on Sunday.

Claus Cederberg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:12 am Thanks, can the current engine come on the list: https://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404/ ?

Of course, I'm running the tournament for the CCRL blitz list, not for myself.

Hi Claus,

Not a problem, only it is probably an advantage for the opponents. Anyway, it seems to be about equal to opponents in the 1100-1300 range.

I agree that you should not hurry with new versions.

I am looking forward to the development of your engine. Good luck!

PS. Elo was a man.

Tournament started. First impression: it moves too fast, almost immediately. Time control I use is 1:25 min + 1 sec.

Hi Claus, It's refreshing to see a new weak engine. Your compile is OK but I thought I'd make a 64-bit one. I have successfully compiled it but it does not move. I don't know why, maybe it hates 64-bit architecture (I have an i7-12700K CPU). No problem, 32-bit is fine. I am going to test it at some ...

If possible do it so that it accepts incremental time even if the values are not whole seconds, e.g. 1.6 s + 0.8 s.

And it would be welcomed if you could give a srength assessment as well.

Hello All, Just here to announce that I have just committed a rewrite of my Puca chess engine to GitHub. It has been years since I was last involved with computer chess but now I am back 😀. Here are the details... Freda 0.9: I still need to implement time controls so it is currently fixed at 15 to ...

Hi all ! I'm happy to announce that Orion has finally its own domain name ( https://www.orionchess.com ) ! Now, I have to find the time to work on the engine (I have many ideas in mind, but no time due to heavy work). In the meanwhile, thanks again to all who have an interest in my little project, ...
