Crafty 23.8 builds

[Werner]

Hi Peter,
thanks for the compile.
But this version does still not use tbs in the game (last Version was 23.6).
I posted a game before with 23.7 - and I get the same result with this version.

Are you using the x86 version or the x64 version?

I use x64 Version here - same with Crafty 23.7

edit: same result with 32bit here.

Are you using my builds, or are you using Martin's builds?

I just checked, tbs work just fine here..

Which interface are you using?

Hello everyone,

I just uploaded new builds of Crafty 23.8 to http://www.kikrtech.com

Can someone test them, especially the x86 version on Windows XP to let me know if it runs? It works on Windows 2003 and Vista, and I've set the compiler flags for XP, so it should work.

Peter

Hello !

Crafty 23.7/ 23.8 are the first(s) Crafty I can't use ! Yet !

Can you redownload the x86 version and try running it? I switched to the Intel compiler to see if that makes any difference.

Peter

no difference
duncan

Can you try this one?

Sorry Peter,
same results here with These other builds. Only 23.6 works.

Here for These tests I used Shredder GUI and wb2uci - but no difference inside Arena 3.0.
How can I init These Position into crafty in console mode and start it ?

Simply start Crafty in console mode and paste your FEN position. It will automatically start.
