Dumb 1.7 https://github.com/abulmo/Dumb/ Is anyone able to make a Windows compile for this ? The link above only has Linux. I'd be running it on an AMD FX8350, which has popcnt and SSE4.2 and SSE4a support, but not AVX2 or BMI2. Thanks. Sorry, I forgot to upload the windows binaries. You can now fi...

You can try my perft available here: https://github.com/abulmo/MPerft
It does have an option to generate only captures, promotions and check evasions.

Dumb 1.6 : https://github.com/abulmo/Dumb/releases/tag/1.6 The zip file for the Windows compiles contains two files, supposedly 32 and 64 bits, but the compiles are identical 64 bit compiles. Sorry, I did not know there was still some 32-bits Windows in the wild :) . I have uploaded a new zip file ...

Have fun with it. Hello! For your information, I cannot use the Linux binary of Dumb 1.6.

I search how I can ins...

I just run some experimentations that strongly disagree with your findings. The aspiration windows algorithm is definitely worth on my engines. I got the following results, with self play using SPRT stop condition: - Dumb : +54.2 +/- 7.3 Elo (834 games) - Amoeba : +131.6 +/- 12.2 Elo (260 games) Be...

D programmers don't have enough chess engines to work from. I figured having a simple base will make it easier for others to create their engines. I agree there are not many chess engines in D, but I have written two of them: https://github.com/abulmo/amoeba https://github.com/abulmo/Dumb Dumb is a...
