New J.A Compiles

[Frank Quisinsky]

Good morning Jim,

very strong is Invictus by Edsel Apostol, Philippines.
https://github.com/ed-apostol/InvictusChess

Version r382 is now 4 years old and I am sure you can make Invictus clearly faster.

That would be wonderful.

Best
Frank

Hi Jim,

the last Invictus sources on GitHub are newer as the last official Invictus version!
Thank you again!

A small gift 4 years later

I am looking in Mida ... your compiles from the last year!
Wow, also clearly faster (more as double speed) as the official Mida 2.3.1 (program from Italy by Giacomo Porpiglia).

If I search in your directory I always find a surprise!!

The very strong "older" engines are allways a topic for me.

Marco Belli and his Vajolet2.
A very strong engine with syzygy support, also Italy.

I don't dare ask anymore ...
But this engine is must have for testing others!

If you have again time for it ...

The last official version is Vajolet2 2.8.0 (HCE).

That would be wonderful if a faster compile from Vajolet2 is available for us.

Best
Frank

Hi Jim. Your Reckless compiles don't run under Fritz GUI. "Engine caused an exception". Official compiles run nice.

Hi Jim. Your Reckless compiles don't run under Fritz GUI. "Engine caused an exception". Official compiles run nice.

Possibly because the official exes were re-released to fix a tablebase initialisation problem (AVX512 instructions contained in the AVX2 exe), and Jim compiled the original code.

Thanks. Without tablebases works ok!
