Bob Hyatt Crafty 21.5 and 21.6

[Chris Taylor]

Hello

Will one or both in the title above be sent to Chessbase for them to make their versions? Please!

Also could you ask the nice Chessbase people if they could release 64 bit versions?

Thanks in advance

Chris.

we have been doing some final tuning for a couple of months, but recently I have spent more time on the testing methodology using our cluster than on actual tuning/testing for Crafty.

Hopefully we will have a "final" 21.6 version before long and that will be released to everyone.

Together with the source code?

I don't think ChessBase have any official link with Dr Hyatt in making the "crafty.eng", they just collect the source and make a eng file as Crafty is freely available. This means they can make an "eng" out of Toga/Fruit/Spike or any other provided the authors don't disagree in the licence.txt. As those others are already available in UCI its redundant to provide in eng format.

By the way is Crafty a winboard or UCI engine as its not categorically stated in the http://www.cis.uab.edu/info/faculty/hyatt/hyatt.html or the Wikipedia entry.

Chess will be solved sooner than Bob implements UCI.

Spike's source isn't available.

For Toga/Fruit, CB would have to show the source changes needed to change into native format. I suspect they wouldn't want to do that.

I hope not...
