Hi,
You will be satisfied with the new forum. They all use the same language as you do, at least the founder and some of his followers.
You should tell them to rename the forum to the "open wide ... hole chess forum"

Well, OK...
Maybe better use your time to remove the illegal links on the Arena webpages...
The reason to link to Strelka (a proven Rybka clone) and not to Ipp*** is in the dark.
Best wishes,
Alex

Unfortunately you're quoting Wael, but it was Michael's sentence.

Hi,
As any civilised person should start a posting... not many of those people left around.
No, I use my time for testing the new Arena 2.0.4 version. The engine link list is inclomplete. I might change it, many thanks for your application, where may I send my bill ?
Best,
Michael

Hi Wael,
You see I follow my own advice. I know many people do but besdies changed time managment, 8 engines at the same time ("a bit" buggy, needs some addirtional changes; Arena sends its name on FICS again so it could be used as an interface there, I hope; additional WB commands from HG). Other changes are marginal (as far as I can say by now). Gaviota TBs not in yet. Martin didn't say anything about supporting additional external boards like the DCS, Mysticum either. Maybe for the next testversion I will increase the number of testers, deppending on who sends what back

Re: Goodbye Talkchess forum!
Don't tell me how much effort it is to remove a link to a illegal program. It is done within a minute. For sure it is less time intensive as your anti-Ipp*** posts. As long as you have links to illegal programs on your site you should not attack people here with links to engines of "questionable legal status".Michael Diosi wrote:No, I use my time for testing the new Arena 2.0.4 version.

You can send me a bill if you like. I am always happy to support freeware projects. If you think I have not done enough for Arena and freeware engines, please send me a bill.
Maybe you can put it here, so that all people can see it. Maybe you can encourage more people to pay the Arena bill.
And here is my "Hi" for you: Hi.
I see a forum discussion like a real discussion. I don't say always "Hi" before i start a sentence. And I don't always sign it. I expect to get an answer. That is not meant as offence in any way.

Regarding Gaviota TBs for a GUI, a very portable option could be to connect to a "TB engine" that provides info about a particular position when requested. I could easily write one with an "ad hoc" protocol, or even Gaviota in WB mode could serve as one. After setboard, the command bk or tb spits all the info needed for a GUI.
Code: Select all
setboard r7/3k4/8/4KP2/8/8/8/1R6 w - - 0 1
bk
White wins in 28 moves

Kf6 wins in 28 ( 55 plies)
