A New IvanHoe Version!!! v Rybka 4.1

[kranium]

They are all about the same George. I tested them.
Also tested Houdini 1.5 vs. Houdini 1.5-TC. They are also
the same. No improvement in 1.5-TC as reported.

Best,
Gerold.

P.S. Looking for something else to test now.
Until the clones come up with a better version i will test
something else. :_)

i agree completely Gerold...

all these different versions of the clones:
Rybka 4 x64 Exp. 42
Rybka 4.1 x64 Exp. 79TD v.1
Houdini 1.5
Houdini 1.5 Tc
etc.
etc.
boring and no improvement!

that's why i'm so very glad to see George, Frank and others, testing IvanHoe, one of the few very top engines proving to be completely original...
(not to mention incredibly innovative, ground-breaking, and extremely strong).
this is the leader, and the authors are clearly talented, driven, and possess a intensely keen knowledge of chess programming.
it is the program to which all top authors/programs are referring for ideas, improvements, etc...

the Ippo authors are clearly leading the pack, and considering the 2.5 year detailed development history, the steady improvement,
there's no doubt in my mind IvanHoe will be #1...soon.

just check out the ~20 ELO increase Frank is seeing in the last version!

i guess this may be a terribly bitter pill to swallow for the CCC 'good-old-boys', and those members that have rigorously condemned Ippolit
with derogatory names/posts for years.
(all this done completely unfairly, against those for whom it's well known won't ever defend themselves, and worse yet: in absence if any proof!)
is 'despicable' a fair enough description of their behavior?

amazingly enough, some of the most unscrupulous individuals are still at it!

If you are glad to see me testing IvanHoe- stay nearby. Won't be long before I am testing Fire and Firebird- 2 that you merged that really have my interest peaked. Please let me see a new Fire version soon.

Ruxy, don't get too enthused with 46hm. I asked PeterPan what the "m" meant- and he said it was a mini-version for people who had smaller interfaces- tho I have never seen a smaller one. At any rate, absolutely no strength difference in 46h and 46hm.......... I WANT that Deep Rybka 4.1 logo you got!

Best,

george

Hello Maestro George !

1.The monitor from my old PC (with Athlon 64 3800+ CPU) isn't so small (19") but the Engine Options window of this Ivanhoe 46h is enormous ( and that is not a joke ).That's because I use Ivanhoe 46hm - the single differences are the size of the engine options window.

2.Now I'm in my office - no one link available -from here-to STASI database , but in the evening this logo of Rybka 4.1 will be in your PM box !

Have a nice day,
SilvianR

Ruxy, look- you got the brains on me. I can just barely upload images to change my avatar in this place. And not eager to practice. So if you pm me and give me an email address to send to and attach 4 logos for you- if you like logos you will die for these 4. No human being other than me has seen them. They were a special order and you will never see them on any logo site- unless the maker were to change his mind- which I doubt.


Best again,

Out of curiosity why did you close Fire?
