Couldn't you prepare a Kasparov gambit version capable of running in XP?

Yes I know it is too-much-ask regards

I have been getting one draw after another with this program, so I suppose we are both of similar strength -or weakness-. Someone knows the rating of it?

Fern

Version 1 of these kind of programs, are probably not that good, and probably have tricks which can beat them.

Perhaps you feel you were really playing well. I think that Genius 1 is quite strong. But Genius might have been a continuation of Psion.

Maybe Hiarcs 1 IS strong. If it is similar to Genius 1, then that seems quite good. But if it keeps doing stupid things, then I don't know if that is considered a standard at all. Mind you, It MIGHT be quite good, if it was commercial.

I thought that Hiarcs got good at verrsion 3, 4 or 5. Hiarcs 5 was already a killer.

Mabe you're ready for Hiarcs 2!

Both Genius 1 and H1 play very poor in the end game.

So it is stronger in my fast computer. Then I am not that bad as I believed.
I still keep my rating regards

Hi Doc,

You may need to edit the 'dosbox.conf' text file located in the program folder if you are prevented from making moves in the game (just noticed this)

change line >

Code: Select all

cycles = auto

cycles = max
