You could try contacting Ronald or Bojun directly (the former's email is readily available, at least), but my reading of that thread shows that generation of 7-men TBs requires 1TB of RAM. There's a further confirmation of that in the latest post by Sesse: link.

It took noobpwnftw five months to generate the 7-men tables on his 8x Intel Xeon Platinum / 1TB+ RAM rig. That's around $50,000 just for the CPUs. Do you have access to comparable hardware, redpawn?

Hi voffka! Thank you for bringing up this issue here. A couple of points need to be clarified in addition to those you brought up: 1) should the name of the engine be listed as "Igel" (capitalized) rather than the current "igel"? 2) what country should be listed along with your n...

What Elo improvement do you estimate for v0.1.3, Stephen?
I'd like to run a 40/40 gauntlet for it and it would be a lot easier if it were around 2000 Elo than 1600+.

This one shows correct evals now, thank you. After some more games it looks more like 1600-1700 Elo. I don't really have any expertise with engines in that range, so I'll defer serious testing of Pleco to those who do. Below is an interesting game vs. Zoidberg 0.1 (~1700 Elo); apparently, Pleco does...

Hello Stephen, I'm running a short gauntlet under Cute Chess GUI to determine the ELO range your engine would fit in. The first thing that caught my eye is that all Pleco's evals are recorded as 0.00. That's because Pleco outputs "score value " whereas GUIs expect from UCI engines "sc...

Why doesn't CCRL have other versions of Stockfish like Raubfisch, Mcbrain and CiChess? It has asmFish, Matefinder, SugaR XPro and Sting SF, which is already more than necessary. Raubfisch is AFAIK just a tweak of Brainfish that can use multiple books + some extra UCI options à la SugaR. Most likely...

Successfully posted an asmFish 4CPU 40/40 gauntlet announcement to the 40/40 Coord forum. Thank you Ray and Graham!

Oh, I can see my previous post instantly! <sounds of chains breaking>

Yay, that makes three of us!

Sure, in a few.

Thank you for bearing with me so far, BTW.
