You reinvented Fishtest?

Lexicographic on strongest piece. So QPPP (or QNNN) is stronger than than RRRR.

Have you tried Rybka? Should probably be in the right range, and the “microwine” layer I made for it at some point makes it appear mostly as a native engine.

Since a year or two VS also integrates Clang with as backend the MSVC code generator and optimizer, and I have to agree that the diagnostics output is very informative, sometimes I use it as a static analysis tool. That would be Clang/C2, which is a different project from regular Windows Clang (as ...

Clang is a different compiler from GCC, indeed—they're entirely separate projects. But GCC is also usually somewhat faster than MSVC with comparable settings; MSVC is a very old compiler (its basic design harks back from the DOS era), and has to bend over backwards to deal with the more tricky C++ c...

There's no active 7-man torrent that I know of. Of course, nothing would stop you from making one and uploading it to a tracker (but then again, it's unlikely you would find too many people interested in seeding).

I'm totally happy with VS, it compiles very fast especially when you enable MP compilation Visual Studio is among the slowest C++ compilers still in actual use (and the /MP parallellization is super-primitive). Case in point, at work we have a product where the Windows version can compile with both...

Why should an object-oriented PHP program be significantly slower than a classical PHP program? Most importantly, because you are generating a ton of objects that need to be garbage collected, which takes significant amounts of time. You are also introducing an abstraction penalty that PHP's rather...

You have three problems:

1. You are using PHP.
2. Your board structure is based on text (e.g. “a1”) instead of primitive values (e.g. 0, 0).
3. You are doing this object-oriented.

Fix those three, and your code will be much, much faster.
