Use Houdini 7.01 instead of the latest Stockfish if you want the strongest engine ^_^ (Being released soon) This is proof enough for me that it's fake, since 6.01 was a bugfix release. I very much doubt Houdart would call his bot "Houdini_x64bit". The way he replies is very much not Houdart either.

But you can shoot down space invaders. Gee, thanks Do you realize what a game engine does? Obviously not, because you'd show more respect towards game engine programmers otherwise. "rendering triangles" barely scratches the surface. And you have 16 milliseconds for everything, much less when doing ...

For what is it worth, it might be useful to review the Computer Chess Club Charter item 4 on discussions about the law: Once a member gains access to the message board, he may read all messages and post new or response messages with the proviso that these new or response messages: 1. Are, within re...

Works fine under Windows 10 with a 980 TI in cutechess with 4.5 up to 5.5kn/s but not under Arena. Arena's debug endlessly shows ". \n . \n . \n" (\n is a new line).

That's because Arena thinks it's another engine using winboard protocol. Just change it manually to UCI and it will work fine.

There's a quick one for testing, nothing fancy, 64-bit only, no XP support: http://www.crabaware.com/Test/shatsf.zip

I don't mind making mistakes - that's how you learn right? I will have it fix in the release version.

Yes, of course. My last remark wasn't useful or necessary, so I apologize.

I already hinted to a possible cause in one of the former McCain threads: http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69849 From what I have googled, e. g. uint_fast8_t must NOT necessarily be 8 bits, it can be larger ... See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35055042/difference-between-uint8...

Probably needs an aligned allocation. Objects can be different sizes because of the OS and compiler. For instance, with GCC on a 64 bit Linux, long is 8 bytes but on 64 bit windows it is 4 bytes. I didn't even look at the code yet so this is a guess. Strange that an assert was used since it sounds ...

As to Martin's question: the flaw is that in every other hash slot you will have exactly the same problem. So it doesn't help you that I-don't-know-how-many bits in the key first direct you to a bucket where only positions that have the same value for those bits go. Wherever you end up, there will ...
