A dedicated desktop so I can do testing more efficiently. The laptop I have now is definitely an upgrade from what I use to have (AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 8 cores 8 GB rams), but it'd be nice to have an actual desktop for testing with more cores and ram. Something I'll have to save up for, as I'm sure it'll be useful for more than just chess programming.
good points but i should've explained better what i meant with the question.
i wanted to know some tasks that are repetitive or tedious to do (because of/old/abandoned programs for example) and that can be improved.
i'm a bit bored and i wanted to try other chess related projects.
Ah, I understand I think. You're looking to work on making some sort of utility?

Afaik, there's no standard tool available for doing texel tuning. Something like that might be nice, especially for people just wanting to get their feet wet, or quickly compare ideas, without having to write their own fully-fledged tuners. Just a thought.
yes. other than some scripts i want to write utilities much more useful to everyone.
Also, if you're bored with chess programming, maybe branch out to some other classic board games? I've been tempted to start working on a checkers engine that should keep me busy when I'm running long tests on Blunder, or I get bored of working on it or stuck.
i don't find them much interesting

this could be really fun. thanks for the idea

What about a female voice? Power Chess 98 had this idea:

Bingo!

The difference now is we can make her say anything we want.
