Hi Donald,

I am looking from time to time on OWL Rating List.

Not sure with the name of the OWL director.

I have in my link selection:
http://www.amateurschach.de/main/_comparable.htm

"John Wilson, Philippines"
Is this right?
Maybe you know it?

My test-run is ready since minutes.
Need more time with the time control I am using.

Results are to compare with my own.
Only OWL Ratings are very high ... I am using the Grandmaster Information ... Shredder 12 with max. 2.800 Elo / Rybka 3 with max. 2.900 Elo. So I have an other calculation. CCRL and OWL is absolutly to high but not important.

Thanks for your interest and test!
I will added the information on Wasp detail site.

Frank

Hi Fernando,

I played yesterday some test-games with the w32 version and can't see here any problem. Could you send a debug file and could you write exactly what you have for a processor typ.

Note:
Under Shredder GUI it's easy to create a debug file:

enter: ucidebug ... debug is on
enter: ucidebug again ... and debug is off

copy and paste the file in your message!
I am sure this will help!

Today I got three mails with the short Information ... w32 executable works fine. Users have different processors and different OS.

Best
Frank

sorry, no idea what you are talking about with that ucidebug....

Hi there,

release-notes.txt (wow, 37 years chess programming) and the file "Wasp_101-x64" with the original main logo by Wilhelm Hudetz can be found under:

Wasp by John Stanback:

Wasp 1.01 x64 is the ~ 300 Elo stronger successor of Zarkov (strongest version of Zarkov) and UCI compatible.

This release is in my opinion particularly.
I am using Wasp for self playing because the style of the engine is "human-like".

Thanks John!

Frank,

Thanks again for making this engine available, John & Frank, but I've noticed Wasp moves instantly under Fritz GUI. Anyone else notice this? Is there a possible fix?

No problems under Arena, however.

Thanks,
