Xiphos 0.5.3 is just released

Link? I see only 0.5 on Github

I tried to d/l Thothfish from the link provided in the 1st post in this thread. The item downloaded from the link is not Thothfish chess engine , it is an installer that tries to install software on your computer , BEWARE , use the link at your own risk. I found a copy of Thothfish chess engine on ...

I was creating my own opening pgn for engine testing (both Silver suites, some Noomen, some Balsa, some Pohl, some Lc0, some TCEC, some of my own...). I found the duplicates.

Looks like pgnscanner is the answer. Is it common for it to keep finding absolute or positional double positions, even after they've been removed? The first round, it found 9 doubles. I removed them. Then it found 4. I removed them. Then it found 5. I removed them. Now it found 4 more. The total num...

Is there a utility to remove duplicate positions from a PGN? Thanks

... I do have a questions ? Is either of these two programs stronger than AB Houdini 6.0 64 Bit or the latest AB Stockfish ? What I am trying to find out is if the NN inclusion made either of the AB programs stronger? It seems so, yes, but not by a lot. I used SF9 as the aux engine for Lc0 20.2 w/ ...

Are Sedat's "Top50, Top 100, etc." books different than his Balsa Top 50, etc., (which have already been uploaded to this repository)? Yes, they are different. I can't find these suites on his website. I share them, in case you want to check them out: https://ufile.io/mahf1 Added them . Thank you

Thanks! In Engines section, I would include Laser 1.7 In Apps section, Cutechess GUI and Winboard should be included. In Opening Books, I would include Sedat's Top50, Top100, etc. Good suggestions. I've added CuteChess and Winboard. Are Sedat's "Top50, Top 100, etc." books different than his Balsa ...

That setting seems to have worked. I had the aux engine log at level 10 verbosity and verified MCTS is working. My settings for LeelaFish, using Komodo 12.3 as the aux, are "threads=4;hash=1024;use mcts=true" If you set this up, too, remember to use time controls that average > 5 seconds to take adv...

I’d like to use Komodo MCTS as LeelaFish’s auxiliary engine. Am I able to turn MCTS on w/ some sort of command line switch? As an example, I tell Houdini to use tactical mode by feeding “tactical mode=1” to LFish’s parameters. Thanks
