question: Gull 3 syzygy

Post by kasinp »

I have seen several attempts: does anyone know which version is playing in the chess.com tournament?

Thank you,

The original version of gull without syzygy tables is the one in TCEC.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Thanks Dan, I realize that. I am wondering what version was selected for the chess.com tournament. I am wondering who created it, if it's fully tested, etc.

Why doesn't TCEC use Gull 3 syzygy?

I assume the one in the chess.com tournament is Basil's implementation.

A pity, that Roc stopped its development just when syzygy was about to be implemented. It was the Gull fork with more progress accumulated, ELO wise.
