The project Sting is to prove that there is possible to join the ELO and IQ abilities and to create some quasi-intelligent Alpha-Beta chess engines.
Sting is "one brain in one head" engine. It means Sting doesn't use some trick parameters: null-move disabling, rule-50 changing etc..
Sting plays and solves in the same way.

Re: Sting SF 11
Can someone make a link to the source that is not on mediafire or dropbox?
My internet will not allow me to collect from those places.

Re: Sting SF 11
Some words about the new version.
Now, you can try to solve each very difficult position (Machines don't cry!
)
But it is not the end of my work. The version 11 is probably the last step before an important gate.
I see a new amazing area. It may take some longer time, for this is the version 11.

Re: Sting SF 11
I added 4 new examples to "IQ" test.
The "IQ" test is a very important part of my project and doesn't contain middle-game tactical positions and technical endgames.
Here are only positions dedicated to test so-called by me quasi-intelligent abilities of engines.
Don't use such external tricks like: rule-50 changing, null-move disabling, special parameters and others.
MultiPV, tablebases and "Monte Carlo" are not welcome too.
Time to solve each of items should be 30 minutes for 1 000 000 nodes/second speed. It means 3 minutes for 10 000 000 nodes/second only. Of course, the going on last depth should not be broken.
The DRAW result means ZERO score or a missing gain.
The WIN result means the correct solution mainly and any gain.
Here are rather easy, sometimes specially simplified be me, examples of possible problems for a clessic model of engines.
The spectrum of examples (90 items) and estimated time of solving are not accidental.

The "IQ" test is a very important part of my project and doesn't contain middle-game tactical positions and technical endgames.
Here are only positions dedicated to test so-called by me quasi-intelligent abilities of engines.
Don't use such external tricks like: rule-50 changing, null-move disabling, special parameters and others.
MultiPV, tablebases and "Monte Carlo" are not welcome too.
Time to solve each of items should be 30 minutes for 1 000 000 nodes/second speed. It means 3 minutes for 10 000 000 nodes/second only. Of course, the going on last depth should not be broken.
The DRAW result means ZERO score or a missing gain.
The WIN result means the correct solution mainly and any gain.
Here are rather easy, sometimes specially simplified be me, examples of possible problems for a clessic model of engines.
The spectrum of examples (90 items) and estimated time of solving are not accidental.
