Hi Swami,

no promises have been made as to a release date as far as I can recall.
Sam Hamilton is the Lemming author and he's a member here on CCC. Best to ask him.

Regards, Graham.

Thanks for the info, I must have had this confused with some other engine where the author claimed that he plans to release it after CCT, not sure what it was..oh that was ZCT :)

I am angry at Sam now. He told me that he will reconsider sending the engine to me once he clean up the code a little bit. Oh well, heart breaks do happen in computer chess. :cry: :cry:

Tony,

I will send you a copy after CCT10. I assume you want 32 bit (which seems to perform much worse and have more "issues" than the 64 bit version I run and test). Send me your email, I lost it.

There has been a worrisome trend though...version 0.25 (which I will send you) is cleaned up but seems to perform worse than 0.24 (which I sent CCRL) which is cleaned up but performs worse than version 0.23.

Regarding a public release date (currently I am only leaking versions to a few testers) I have no idea. I wanted to hunt more bugs and stick in some multiprocessor support before releasing, but just have not had much time for development recently. I have been trying to trick someone else into doing this for me by offering up the prestigious "coauthor" title, but have had no takers.

Hi Sam,

I'm planning also to incorporate SMP in my engine. Maybe in a month or two. If I could already implement it on my engine then I think I could volunteer already with doing SMP support for Learning Lemming.

Thank you for your offer Edsel, that would be very cool.

Let's talk again after your experiences adding it to your own engine.
