Chiron?

[David Dahlem]

I've just tested the exe I sent you and the benchmark works correctly.
The benchmark has no search output but there is a progress bar. On my 1090T it takes about 2'30" to complete.

Received Chiron tonight!
First test started for CEGT 40/20

Chiron 1.0 x64 1CPU - Fritz 13

What do you suggest Ubaldo: using default or using endgame tbs (never, only at root, everywhere?)

I usually use 5 pieces Scorpio bitbases loaded in RAM and 5 pieces tablebases probed only at root.
If you don't want or can't use bitbases, everywhere is fine.

[Werner]

Good Morning Ubaldo,
as the lists usually test with default - this could be default for your engine with next update (or an official suggestion).
Critter e.g. uses endgame tbs only at root as default.

best wishes

Sorry Ubaldo,
I tried to use the new egbb 5men here
- loading egbb is tooo long
- engine crashed

better 4men?

Also Ingo reported crashes while using bitbases. It's strange because I've been using them for a long time without any problem.
Was it working fine with Nalimov tablebases?
For the moment, please, don't use bitbases.

[Werner]

Hi Ubaldo,
Nalimov and Gaviota tbs are working fine here.

3/4 men egbb (new ones) are working too till now (no crashes)

Loading time for 5men egbb are too long here for tournaments (same with Scorpio).

Hi Werner !

Why not SMART_LOAD option for Scorpio egbb (the most used egbbs) + Gaviota/Nalimov tbs ?
Works fine here , on my quad !

What you mean Gabor? Are you also having crashes with TBs and BBs? What GUI are you using?
