I am replying to Professor Hyatt's response: ..."so you get something in the 15-20 Elo range overall..." If I understand the math behind the expected value of results with ELO rating differences, this would mean that the modified engine, always analyzing, would win 2 - 3% more games than the unmodif...

I am not familiar with the ChessWar tournament. I know what "ponder on" is. I can't imagine it have much value, if 2 engines were sharing the same cpu. Whay good would pondering be if that engine only had <2% of available cpu to work with? I was only suggesting pondering when it is not your turn to ...

Modern Chess Gui's are a great convenience, as we are able to run engine matches and tournaments in unattended mode. I was wondering if the nature of the matches limited engines strength. When I run matches, the engine that is analyzing the next move takes up 98-99% of cpu usage while the other engi...

Can we learn anything from PGO compiled executables?

Does the compilation process produce any revised source code? Can we decompile a PGO generated executable and see what changes the compiler made and use this for future projects?

Will this work with a standard wb2uci setup.

Thank you,

I'll look at some Crafty Source Code.

I have a lot of ideas and intend to have code save evaluations and proposed continuations to a file. Some of the challenges will how much information is relevant to output, and how to output not too verbosely, but to have a parser or a program translate the information. Here is an example: My engine...
