Anyone know of a good place I can download manuals for old dos engines? I am playing around with MChess 5 today and I would really like the manual.
Thank you,
John

Re: Fat Fritz Update
Version .2 available. Fritz Update in addition. By the way, the multi gpu syntax "(backend=cuda-fp16,gpu=0),(backend=cuda-fp16,gpu=1)" does not work on Fat Fritz though. Do anyone know a quick fix ? When I run Fritz it asks if I want to update Fat Fritz from version 20 to version 2 (not .2) which i...

Re: Do you test engines with or without using a book?
With no book you're just testing a handful of lines from startpos. If your engine picks moves somewhat randomly in the opening then you avoid this problem, but this is the job of an opening book, not the engine really. But if you use a book aren't you testing from a situation that could give one si...

Do you test engines with or without using a book?
Just curious how most people test engines when running a match or tournament. I usually run them without.

Re: Dragon by Komodo Chess
Just wanted to say that I am really impressed how well Dragon has been playing against other engines I have installed on my PC. I really feel like I got my moneys worth in this purchase. Great job!

Re: Dragon vs GM Nakamura Analog Handicap Match
My personal feeling: human computer era ended around 2005 when SMP Rybka was released. Handicap matches are not interesting. I would like to see non handicap games against GM's even if the engines win every game. Note that I am not sure that they can win every game with black and maybe humans can f...

Re: Final Release of Ethereal, V12.75
Thank you for your efforts, Andy. If your main goal is to compete with a hand-crafted engine against another hand-crafted engine, as was the tradition from 1968-2018, then it is a good time to quit. With neural network engines, a stronger engine can be created by just throwing more hardware at trai...

Re: Banksia GUI released
I was wondering if you could consider adding functionality to the gui that would provide ratings to the engines based on the games\tournaments played. I currently use a program called Ordo which works well but it's tedious to do manually. Would be amazing if you could add that functionality! Thanks ...
