Chris Whittington's Chess System Tal!

[swami]

I am planning soon to rise a web page,I might need some help though,so please stand by

Ok, You can get a gmail id for yourself, go to googlepages and create one for your own, It's simple. no need for html and all that If you don't have gmail, I can send you one invite, I have some 50 invites left

I see thanks,I have a gmail account and I guess you're talking about the Google page creator,right

Yep, that's the one I used, as well as all the modern day authors. Technology is so fast paced

64 bit bitboard UCI CSTAL III engine

Well Yes !!!

[mclane]

ahem - yes.
but i meant UCI, this means it needs no GUI , a plein text engine that follows the specification of UCI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Chess_Interface

As you maybe remember the CSTAL3 bitboard engine you nearly finished for CSTAL3 release is bind to the GUI.

it would be good to have it for UCI so that it can be used in ANY chess program (fritz-gui, arena-gui, shredder-gui etc.)
and of course we would need to make it better than CSTAL2.03.

this is what the people would like to see.

the reason for using other GUIs is to make engine-engine tournaments possible.

using it with the CSTAL3 GUI (that was never finished) allows only
auto232 tests.

by making it an UCI engine, one could play with it on the server,
one could match it with ANY other chess engine, one could integrate it in any tournament with dozens of other engines. that would help testing it.

the specifications for UCI can be downloaded from stefan-meyer-kahlens website
http://download.shredderchess.com/div/uci.zip

also there are existing adapters that make winboard engines as UCI engines...

To estimate the CSTal real ratings, Olivier's list shows the ratings of engines as about 200-300 elo lower, So in his rating list, As far as I know, he is the only tester who has tested CSTal against other engines, CSTal is rated 2252 and Romi 2255.

In CCRL Romip3k is 2508, CSTal would be 2505.
And Tony's list has 2642 for Romi, So CSTal would be around 2638.

Since RomiChess has among the thinest of evals and CST has among the thickest and their ratings are so close and their styles so unique it would make for one very interesting match. I suggest a CCRL style match!

CST might prevail though as Romi has no king safty code or endgame knowledge or internal draw recognition and a whole bunch of other eval stuff.

Anyone else interested in such a match? Anyone have any results/games already to share? DWD?

matching them is a little difficult. IMO you would need 2 machines and auto232 cable working.

or you play manually ... with a mouse.

if you like i can do few games...

against the CSTAL2.03 engine
or even against the new bitboard engine CSTAL3.

just send the romi engine to my email adress ichATthorstenczub.de
or mclanecxantiaATaol.com

Thanks, wow, Thorsten.

I'd be interested in seeing the latest Romichess vs CSTal 3 Clash !!!

Please keep us informed of this.

Michael, send him a special version that is better than NG4, as soon as possible!

Thanks Thorsten and Swami,

I am working on a new release when I can and that is not very much or very often these days. So the last public release at the WBEC site is the one that I will send.
