CSTal2.07-Scalar builds for Legacy PCs now released

Last thing, some couple of weeks ago I emailed you that I had produced a bit identical EAS profiler to the one you release (yours in batch file language), that mine was 3x faster and also removed the bug I found in your code. I asked you if you were interested in having 3x, big free and maintainable (because not written in terrible batch file language) and to get in touch if so. I have not had the courtesy of a reply. Presumably you are happy with slow, badly written, unmaintainable and buggy test software being used by all and sundry and have no interest in a proper version? Fine, no problem, but be aware that people in glass houses should avoid throwing stones.

I never got that email, I checked my spam, too. Sorry. Could you point out the bug you found? Perhaps I can fix it.

I always said, it would be great to have a better version of my EAS-tool, written in a real programming language. So, if you can do it and want to do it - great.
No need for asking, by the way: Everything on my website is for the community. Everything can be downloaded, modified, whatever - complete fine for me. Just a little hint, that it was taken from my website, would be nice, but is also not a must.

if you make threads more than cores, the system still only has limited CPUs and the multi engines will be cycled round the available cores, this slows things down down pretty much if not worse than the attempt being made to get too many threads. So, thread limit = number of cores. You may not like it but you’re wrong. The problem is your false expectations of gaining from threads more than cores.

Ah, my bad.
By the way: TCEC has 256 cores and all engines run with 512 Threads there. chesscom Engine-tournament has 128 cores and all engines run with 250 threads. And all runs fine.
So all these guys are wrong since years and years. Only you are right.

So much heat here all the time at TC...
Testing Time! I've put it into the Myracle GUI - It works on my Core i7 2600k/3.4 GhZ - Thank you so much!
