Gullchess with Syzygy Tablebases

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello together,

a new version Gull 3_syzygy (UCI-32&64x and source!) by Vadim Demichev is available. It uses Syzygy Bases now but cannot be considered as an official release of Gull. It's only a test version.

Ronald de Man´s / Syzygy EGTBs can be found on CCWiki here:
http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=c ... egtbs_list

Perhaps you can give it a try if the engine runs on Deep Fritz 13 or 14 graphical interface correctly.

Best wishes,
Norbert

Hello, dowloaded

[gleperlier]

Only Unix version available to download ?

[syzygy]

Only Unix version available to download ?

That seems very unlikely, as Gull is Windows only.

The zip contains 3 .exe files.

Same for me.
The ZIP-file contains only one file "Gull_ 3_syzygy".

The ZIP-file contains only one file "Gull_ 3_syzygy".

It is a zip file that was compressed using gzip. So first decompress it, then rename it as gull.zip (if necessary), then unzip it.

I get an error message that states that "the archive is in an unrecognized format or damaged".

This is the first compressed file I have not been able to open/unzip/decompress for a long time. Is this a new zip format?

EDIT: I figured it out -- I had to change the downloaded .zip file's extension to .gz then decompressed it to a single file to which I added the .zip extension and decompressed this file as well; it worked

Thanks,
CL
