I released my Unbalanced Human Openings. Unbalanced Human Openings contain: - 100% moves played by humans, only. Both players had at least 2300 Elo. Out of the Megabase 2020 - no manually constructed openings (like my Drawkiller openings) - no manually added moves to make castling impossible (like ...

Too much relying on computers to think for you and not enough logical, actual CHESS thinking. Black has played ...c6 instead of the usual ...g6 , but the only benefit I can think of for this move-order would be to give black the option of switching to a Stonewall Dutch via a ...d5 and ...e6 move ord...

Most of the time I cannot log in through my VPN. This is a rare moment when I can. And I am going to use it to write that as long as this situation persists, I will not post on this forum. My lifelong habit was to avoid discriminatory environments, and TalkChess became one of them. I will never acc...

I mean automatically and always. I haven't found any so far. If I insert MultiPV= 3 to *****.uci file no effect. The GUI is not using that parameter at all? I'm pretty sure this is handled by the GUI and not the engine. And obviously only works with engines that have MultiPV capability. Which engin...

What means M(T)D ??

Most of the days?

Very interesting. GMs are *finally* catching on to the idea of training against weak (but human-like) engines. I love it. For me, Benjamin is cool, but as far as Ed's work goes, my favs will always be ProDeo with ALEXAL, MACHEID or Storm personalities! :) The MACHEID (whatever that name means!) per...
