ChessGUI must be fixed before I can talk to the Lion
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Re: A Distant Roar
In the meantime, I thought it would be nice to include BigLion in a tournament.Matthias Gemuh wrote:The roar is indeed from a distant past

It's good to try out some of the new boys against some of the older ones.
Hopefully it should be an interesting tournament, although many only seem interested in the strongest engines.
Cheers,
Graham.

Re: For those wanting to follow more closely
Hi Graham,
I missed IvanHoe
Thinking on the Queen, not the chess program Queen, Queen Elisabeth II. Pool-Jumping, Niue ... and don't forget I am the first one with collect the engine logos and public it. I started with the first engine logo of Pete Galati (Golem) and my collections ended 2005 with around 600 logos from different persons.
I will delete via remote all your logos from your harddisk.
You can be sure ...

Yes, we get it, you want Graham to test Ivanhoe and he said that he won't do it. Can we move on?Frank Quisinsky wrote:Hi Graham,

Re: For those wanting to follow more closely
Hi Miguel,
we should learn to see such things with a bit more humor.
Often I am thinking ...
Computer chess discussion are more important as traeties of Rome or perhaps Falkland Islands.
Questions to yourself:
How many ideas from Gaviota are from yourself?
From which sources you got your information?
From which programmers comes the idea for endgame tablebases?
And so on ...
Thinking about it.
Perhaps you can hold with your answer the flag of the programmers? More interesting is to read an answere with a bit humor.

Re: For those wanting to follow more closely
Gaviota is not made of ideas, is made of C code and algorithms. The code is all mine and the algorithms vary. I did not invent alpha beta if that is what you are asking, I did not invent zobritz, and the standard search techniques, but the implementation is 100% mine. I was certainly inspired in many of the search techniques by comments from many people, mostly Bob in the 90's. The evaluation is 100% mine, code and algorithms, including a tuning technique.Frank Quisinsky wrote:Hi Miguel,

The interface is 100% mine, and the XB and UCI design based on threads and function callbacks is mine. Of course, those techniques have nothing to do with chess and you learn them in books.
I don't study other peoples sources.From which sources you got your information?
Mine, I had the idea to go ahead and do it. Now, if you ask about the algorithm, it is the standard retrograde analysis, which does not need too much imagination to get it, the code is all mine, except some of the compression schemes that are MIT licensed (for the people to have options), but I coded scheme 1 all by myself using the standard Huffman algorithm so in case a wise guy ask me whether all the code used in a tournament is mine, I can say YES. The design of the cache is 100% original. Even the move generator is original and customized for small number of pieces. I am using the De bruijn technique as published. That will be the only handful of lines of code extracted from other people.From which programmers comes the idea for endgame tablebases?
I have been thinking about it for more than a decade.And so on ...
Thinking about it.
I have plenty of sense of humor, but I did not feel it in your repeated messages. Particulary when there is another thread in which, once again, the topic is whether GB will test this engine or another.
Perhaps you can hold with your answer the flag of the programmers? More interesting is to read an answere with a bit humor.
In fact, I was going to reply with a joke your first message. I really thought you were playing too much with this chess set
http://www.gadgetgrid.com/2007/09/20/ma ... et-boxjpg/
based on your references to the King of Tonga. But, when I saw you were spamming the subforums with the same questions, I had a turn off.

Re: For those wanting to follow more closely
Hi Miguel,
you hold the flag for the "real-life" programmers
Nice, better strong, message by yourself!
And yes, I follow some years your activity, read your messages and like what you do. You do a lot and stands with good examples as very young programmer in the first line.
I will write you the reason why I add this message in the thread of Graham. Graham like it to do exactly the same with other threads. Each one the same topic.
If Graham read this message:
Graham, to win a positive opinion about the IPP family isn't easy, to win a positive opinion about Rybka isn't easy too. Persons which like the IPP family should do that and person which unlike the ipp family should do that too. But I think it's wrong to try to see the topic black or white, good or bad.
Keep up the great work you do for us Miguel!
Keep up the great work you do for us Graham too!
