Komodo - is it worth buying. That is the question.

Simple answer: Yes.

Its in the best interest of computer chess to support those who advance the field.

This would be a hack, but here goes. It seems engine that are 64-bit have "64-bit" in their name, the ones that are 32-bit have either nothing, or 32-bit. Leave everything as it is. Then add a Javascript procedure to the top of each page, which would add "32-bit" to any engine that doesn't already ...

Can you confirm that the engine is still running? IE the binary still shows up in your task manager, despite not reporting the best move to the GUI? When I compile Ethereal on Linux, everything seems fine. But when I run your *exe files on Wine, I get this: wine Ethereal12.00-x64-pext.exe 000b:fixm...

I'm sorry to ask where I can find engine versions Ethereal 12.01. If you are able to compile source, you can get the latest source from here : https://github.com/AndyGrant/Ethereal Otherwise, I could compile binaries for you and upload them somewhere for you to grab. Whichever works for you. Andrew

The new code is an abomination {to me, which means little}. Stockfish is so crammed with magic numbers that it should be a Disney movie with wands and sorcerer's apprentices and bippity-boppity-boos. My only point was that a 20 line program to compare the two methods is not valid. You have to profi...

I've long disagreed with a certain users string of "simplifications". Is an array of 64 values a bit big and bulky? Yes. But any adult can view that array and identify the trend in the values. I would keep that array, because its very clear to the reader what is being done. Now, you have to have far...

I think what people are trying to point out here is that the log doesn't show a 'bestmove' command from the engine in reply to 'stop'. Failing to send the 'bestmove;'' would be a violation of the UCI specs, and it is quite conceivable that some GUIs would hang forever while waiting for it. Any prog...

Note that if there's a problem that can only be reproduced on a certain GUI it should be a GUI's bug, because any engine's bug should be reproducible from the Console (if the console works right, the GUI should work right, unless the GUI is doing something it's not supposed to.) It crashes on Scidv...

Marek is correct. Even in Fritz GUI Ethereal has issues probably with stops still and You can't use it as other UCI engines! ... I'm not sure what you think is the problem here? Is it the final ">>stop"? If so, that is what I would expect, and its the job of your GUI to again ask the engine to "go ...

If your GUI provides UCI logs, both input and output, I would be happy to look at it and address the issue as fast as possible. Here's what I get if I analyse from a middlegame position and then play the move suggested. >>uci <<id name Ethereal 12.00 <<id author Andrew Grant, Alayan & Laldon <<opti...
