.Syzygy are used by the GUI. It seems the engine still needs Nalimov to be able to use TB in search.kasinp wrote:Just installed it, and you may be rightAser Huerga wrote:I guess they forget to add "a few years ago ...".

1. It feels almost identical to the Fritz15 engine
2. Parameters look exactly like they did in Rybka series
3. Hash seems still limited to 4GB
4. It is a UCI engine

no idea as to strength increase, yet.

You must have tried to login 3X's and many other sites will do the same security feature. Just use a VPN extension for your browser and it'll make your IP different.Nordlandia wrote:Wonderful website.
