I hope you get my point now. I think you're too rigid in following the existing, known brute force methods. So you are suggesting to tweak an existing, known brute force method until it does what you like it to do in this one particular position. And you probably think that would measurably increas...

I wanted to say Hyper-V, but you've already mentioned it. (Hmm, and I thought I was editing my previous comment but somehow I added a new one.)

I don't know much about Hyper-V, but it seems it is available on Windows 8 (but maybe not on all versions?).

Is Hyper-V enabled? Then disable it.

At the WCCC? Normally moderators would only see postings that are reported, and they would only act against those when these violate the charter.

I wasn't thinking of the moderators here (so I wasn't serious) but of the rather more trigger-happy TCEC moderators.

Doesn't Andrew work on stockfish? Could he introduce a bug or something into stockfish promoting his own engine? Doesn't seem right he has own engine and works on stockfish too!!! I for one am very skeptical over this one! Conflict of interest? Is he working with other developers on fishtest? Is he...

Is there a way to determine which "setoption name" options are compiled into any xFish version ? Just type "uci". $ stockfish Stockfish 170618 64 POPCNT by T. Romstad, M. Costalba, J. Kiiski, G.

Would seem to me that if UCI only provides a single "control" that it really should be constrained to include (2) and (3) above. The UCI spec doesn't take care of anything one would like, but it does list "NalimovCache" as an option for setting the size of the Nalimov cache. The question is what th...

Dodgy, dodgy... Indeed, and I am perfectly happy to dodge your questions and "let you boil in your soapy water". In fact most of your 'contribution' to this thread has been attempts to derail the discussion about that. Do you believe that yourself? I have been very careful to stick to a single issu...

"yes" or "no" would have sufficed; then we could make some progress. Of course I can understand why it is not really in your interest to make any progress resolving this, and that dodging painful questions offers some hope to get off the hook. There is nothing to resolve because I have been more th...

So you want to argue that "making engines so that they predictably would cause trouble" would be considered a smart thing to do, by the majority of people?

There you go again. Boring.
