Hi, first with computers the answer today may be wrong tomorrow ;) However today IMO... Q6600 is fantastic value right now great chip and overclocks well... I would avoid the Q9300 it is not as easy to overclock and has less hash, the Q9450 is more interesting but the current price of the Q6600 is p...

Hi Ray, watching with interest - just noticed ponder on too... How may rounds are you planning? Shaun I set it up for 100 rounds, 7,800 games... So far approx 1,100 games have been played. It will take 2-3 months if I let it get that far. Shredder is causing me a lot of pain, problems using it's ow...

Hi Ray,

watching with interest - just noticed ponder on too...

How may rounds are you planning?

Given the data size - I would suggest an external HD? By default I never have only one copy of any important files (I normally get in a mess with too many backups :lol:). So either 2 physical disks (in different machines or an external disk), or Disk + CD/DVD or 2 x CD/DVD. P.S. I agree a system whe...

PS - I am not going to try this at home - you will laugh and I will cry. I am also confident of several suggestions to look at generation

Here is the link to my new site: http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/egtb/files.html Hi Kirill, There seems to be a good connection from your provider - I can get 2.5MB/Sec from work - although this was a one off test on a 200MB file just after 6pm UK hours... 1.2TB might get me looking for a new job.....

Hi,

Sorry to hear this, however this is a time consuming hobby

does this also mean you will be dropping out of Playchess?

All the best

Shaun

Toga and Spike are performing well here

Hi Uri,

thanks for highlighting the game, it does look like this one may have slipped through....

Shaun

Please note - Before running an executable downloaded from here or anywhere ensure you know the source - be careful! Anti virus/firewalls etc should be up to date/running and preferably the exe should be tested in a safe environment first e.g. a vmware session which has had a snapshot taken. Please:...

An interesting tournament....

Frenzee seemed to dominate the weaker engines more than Movei...

I must test the new versions of Frenzee...

Hi Norm, are you running the memory 1:1 and if so have you tried tighter timings? I have 2 Q6600 G0 boxes here is the screenshot from one - now running 44412 I had not tightened the timings as I was checking CPU stability first... As you can see I am playing safe with the vcore... Shaun P.S. I love ...

Hi Shaun, I am linking overclocking articles and sites to the section as I find them. There are so many good sites I will create a reference list. Remember Overclockers: Voltage is your friend and Heat is you enemy. Norm http://www.enginechess.com I must admit to running very conservative with vcor...

Uri,

I am probably missing something but is not a time handicap what you are looking for and you have used these before...

Shaun

My guess

Frenzee Dec07 64-bit (winboard)

Hi Norm, I have downloaded both your Playchess database and the one from Spaghetti Chess - I assume there is a fair amount of overlap but unique games in both - just need to dedupe - I don't have the full Chessabase or ChessAssistant so if I remember correctly SCID will work... Are there any other s...

Hi Norm, I have a suggestion for your overclocking section: It would be great for newbies if you could include details like type of cpu, motherboard, memory, cooling, power supply and all the overclocked bios settings. It would be even better if you could have details of several different setups. T...

Single CPU results

There is a Toga II 1.4beta5c single CPU gauntlet running should have results at the weekend

Quad results

Toga II 1.4beta4b needs more games...

Hi Uri, We need to look at consistent naming between 40/4 and 40/40 where possible... Often at 40/4 we deliberately split out testing without say egbbs to show any difference... All games should be played with egbbs and TBs where these are supported - we might changing the namings so we show 'no egb...

Thanks Some more questions: 1)Danasah 2.85 from 40/40 is identical or not identical to DanaSah 2.85k from blitz? 2)Toga II 1.3.4 from 40/40 is identical to Toga II 1.3.4 from 40/4 that has only 14 games or maybe it is identical to Toga II 1.3x4 that was seriously tested in blitz? Uri Toga II 1.3x4 ...

Hi Denis, I had found JA 64-bit compile and I have a test running... *** Will let you know how it performs... MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Shaun *** First finished 100 games the 32-bit version was ahead... running another 100 New game - Scorpio 2.0 32-bit, Blitz:4'+2" Brighton rnbqkb...

Thank Daniel Shawul for sharing the source for his egbb.dll probe. You can now build egbb.dll for your OS (32/64 bit). Just request and I'll compile one for any Windows platform. Hi Denis, if you have the time a 64-bit compile of the egbb.dll and Scorpio 2 would be fantastic - we can then see what ...

If we had code to generate 6 piece scorpio bases and are usable by Scorpio and various other engines that have implemented the Scorpio BB's I would happily devote some CPU time to the generation...

Shaun

Just incase anyone else hits this the problem was I had picked a DB of old games so no ELO info and Shredder needs ELO info for its book creation.
