OK... this makes a little more sense now. I was contacted a while back and asked about it. My response was along the lines of this: (a) I'm not going to participate this year as things were thrown together too quickly and there was not enough time to make the kind of preparations we would normally ...

Or the CCCCC for short......is devoted to bringing you the best at this years WCCC. Never let it be said that a former world champion chess engine should not participate because a mere ocean is in the way. So much so that the donation fund has reached the 25 euro entry fee and not before time. June...

Hello, That changes the math a lot. The q-search almost has to be > 50% of the total nodes searched unless you look at simple endings like fine 70. Every branch reaches a depth=0 point where it transitions to the q-search. Exponential trees mean this is a big percentage of total nodes searched sinc...

QS isn't the only place for savings. The arithmetic seems like this:- for every fail high node, there ...

Hello, But once again, in the hope that one day it will sink in, .... Vasik Rajlich has become sort of Jesus Christ in computer chess, Osipov has become sort of Son of Jesus Christ in computer chess and Sergei Markoff is very like St. Peter...If after the appearance of sort of Messiah preaching the...

Did you ever measure this quantity before (with different result)? It seems normal to me that it is more difficult to find cut-moves in an end-game, as the information that distinguishes the winning from the losing moves is much more distant. In the middle game it is often decided by what is on the...

Hi all, I think I broke something in my engine, but I'm not sure what. Maybe someone has a clue. When I go towards the endgame, the percentage first fail high drops to below 80% ( normally above 90%) I'm not sure how to test/ where to look. I switched off bitbases (thought they were corrupt), switc...
