I even wish you could allow for uci options encoding in the cfg file : simply allowing a variable number of lines for each engines in the form : 2\uci.Name=value Hi Ilari! What are the news ? I come back with this former suggestion : a friend of mine just asked me to test some engine with no less t...

There have been some 64-bits compiles of some of these Toga versions but they are a little weaker than their 32-bits counterparts even under 64-bits windows. Toga does not benefit from the 64-bit compiles because it is not bitbase-based. So you should better use the 32-bits versions even under 64-bi...

In the future a chess software can have recourse to a super-opening book that covers all the best lines, say 20 moves in each line, ...

I had a hell of a job pruning it so as to only keep a little less than 2 000 000 more interesting games. There was a post on playchess a few months ago where you could read that more than 3...

No, but it does mean that if you release it at all, you have to release the modified GPL code to the public. No! The GPL doesn't even mention the word "release". It talks about "conveying" the program, while the FAQ uses the terms "convey" and "distribute". The GPL requires that you make the modifi...
