What is the supported max cpu number (according to the uci options) for Fritz 17? Asking for info, because I added now a Ginkgo entry to the XB/UCI chronology. (note that some programs detect the max mumber themselves and then write the number of your cores) Yes, this appears to be the case, tried ...

Just noticed that Sedat published a new version of his excellent Perfect series. Supported are all common file types, from Arena to Polyglot. I have always found these to be of highest quality and wanted to thank Sedat for his continued contribution to our hobby. (still missing his friendly online p...

Thank you both. I should have thought of it myself! Again, appreciate the responses.

Are you sure ??? A pawn will necessarily promote, so you will absolutely need the ...

One question for Mark and Larry: Now Komodo support up to 7 pieces egtb, fine. Any slowdown test inflicted by probing 7-piece compared to 6-piece tried out yet? Scenario: whole 7-piece on ssd. What kind of slowdown in speed can we see. Also is 7-piece ssd something on the agenda, like 2019 or onwar...

I too hope Ingo is well and has not lost interest in maintaining his list.
That said I would not be surprised if being well required forgetting about computer chess once in a while.
