Fabien,

nice to see that you are back. Fruit was a milestone. Before that I thought that engines will never be better than Shreddre and/or Fritz

I believe that you have a lot of new and fresh ideas

Right now we have three top engines, so why not four?

Awesome! I coin the short version : B&B !

Didn't expect this, it's nice to see an old salt returning back.

C++11 is still perhaps not that good an idea for software which is supposed to be portable. I've had trouble with the new regex on another project(gcc doesn't compile the code so I can't run it on Linux). Maybe in a year or two everything will be okay though.

Why not? 300 Elo?

Thanks for the info.

We know these errors very well. Your compiler does not support std::thread.

I finally got it to run anyway, using boost to replace std::thread and after an incredible hassle with libraries that don't want to get found.

The function rand_int() only returns even values, so there is the problem. Maybe replace by:

Code: Select all

int rand_int(int n) {
   assert(n > 0);
   return int(rand_float() * double(2*n)) / 2;
}

This doesn't work.

Just use something better....

RAND_MAX = 32767

RDM - purely out of curiosity, have you been posting at TCEC in recent days or did I see a RDM imposter?

Thanks a lot! At some point I sent Joachim a table of PolyGlot random numbers, but he answered that the problem was still there. So I assumed it was something else.
