Brainlearn and Shashchess

[Eduard]

I have to apologize to Andrea Manzo ... he gave me all support to fix the problems!!

So I give my honest apologize to Andrea Manzo!!!

And what does the solution look like? I would also like to use MCTS.

Hi Eduard,

Andrea and me are still investigating.

[criko]

Hi all,

thx to Andrea Manzo for the new Brainlearn 26.1 version.
Again I apologize to him.

Hi.
ShashChess has a lot of new original code.
I prefer to be updated with latest official release.

First test: more will follow...

Hello Andrea, ShashChess 34 is not convincing on the PlayChess server. He gives more defeats than wins. I don't understand why Dimension 1536 is still implemented? Stockfish dev is already using Dimension 2560, and this network is stronger. Why should we use Dimension 1536 when there are better networks with Dimension 2560? Comparisons with Stockfish 16 (Dimension 1536) are pointless.

I also won against ShashChess 34 on the server, the hardware was roughly identical:

Hello Andrea!

Regarding Shashchess: I accept that, but I myself will no longer use ShashChess.
Regarding Brainlearn 26.1: I saw that you implemented "MinimumThinkingTime" in Timeman, but this option is missing in the engine's UCI options. Why?

[criko]

and the new Shash version is again buggy like hell.

Pls community do not use this sw in the future.

Manzo did no test before release ... I send him again the buggy game(s)

[Eduard]

What exactly is buggy?

[criko]

engine caused an exeption
I send him the game ... he told me it was Chessbase GUI error.
What a clown.
