Re: Spike 1.4 is available
A new Aristarch or a new SOS would be excellent news.

Will you fix the hashsizebug in SPIKE 1.4?
first thx for sharing your engine with us.
I hope you will fix the handling of the hashsize by Spike 1.4.
It takes 206MB Hash if you choose 128 MB Hash and increase to 252 MB by running.
OS: XP 64bit
GUI:Arena 3.0
Thx for all.

Re: Will you fix the hashsizebug in SPIKE 1.4?
Hi,
there is (afaik) no hash bug in Spike. The size is coming from a hudge sparsely filled mapping table used in eval. As it is sparsely filled there is no drawback for cache usage.
It´s not too hard to reduce the size, but it allows us to add special eval terms easier. We don´t expect a big drawback as today´s computer memory is much larger as the table itself.
Greetings Volker

Re: Spike 1.4 is available
Yesterday I played a few games of 3 min with Spike 1.4 at Playchess. Don´t have has the same strength of the main engines, but I think the new versions may surprise us.
Thanks for the new version.
Edit: Very good in test suites

Hi,
yes, we don´t reach stockfish strength. We had several years without much development and we are not on bitboards thus we don´t profit from 64bit processors.
Greetings Volker

Re: Spike 1.4 is available
I don't know why, but certain engines just fascinate me, and I develop a fondness for them. I always was fascinated by that funky MTD(f) search that SOS has. When I play SOS against other programs, I'm more fixated on SOS's PV display than I am at the position on the board. And Aristarch... I dunno, I think I saw more stock h7 sacrifices coming from that program than from any other. I guess I like engines with "personality".Christopher Conkie wrote:tmokonen wrote:a new SOS would be excellent news.
Don't tell Vincent about my crush on SOS.
