Chris, can you tell us estimated Elo difference, between now and previous versions?

Where is the hash size in the parameters? Using Fritz 21 it never saves the parameters (a pet peeve of mine) of any engine you use. I have to always load parameters as it automatically takes all my RAM for the program.

Fritz 21 - On the Engine Management screen click 'apply' to each engine you change paramteres, then click 'okay' last. This will save your parameters (This works for me).

In Shredder GUI it simply uses the Hash table size that you set in the parameters of the GUI. So if the previous engine used 1024 MB, that is also what the GUI sets for Tal. Surely it is something possible with Chesbase too (See the above reply from Jason that is more helpful than mine)

Anyway, I think there are parameters aplenty A plethora of parameters I hope they actually work. All the questions about them will be ignored maybe unless somebody tests some of them And how do you test that

Thanks for the new version!

Code: Select all

# Name                    Points     %     Elo    +/-   W-L-D         1     2

500/500 games, 56% draws, time control:180+1, book:UHO_2024_6mvs_+085_+094.pgn

Strange enough, Windows Defender killed the binary after 471 games, so the 500 weren't fully reached here:

Code: Select all

1   Chess-System-Tal-3.00         +81  +153/=273/-45 61.46%  289.5/471
2   Chess System Tal 2.07 E1019   -81  +45/=273/-153 38.54%  181.5/471

With EloStat +-20 too,

I can save my parameters for each engine but I still have to load it manually using the saved config file. The CST 3 does not have a hash size adjustment? When I shutdown the program I have to the same thing over again.
