Toga

Post by George Bodkin »

I saw Toga 1.4.4, 1.4.7 1.5.5 and 1.5.7 on a site with Belka info on it.

Are these real Toga's.

Thanks George.

Hi Terry,

links to the site in question have been removed three times because the content includes dubious material as per an earlier post from Tony.
For clarification, that website is not run by me. So I would warn you not to download anything from that site. Also, they do lot of illegal things at that site, a modified Toga without source code for example. Also, Kingzilla is probably the latest version of Rybka.
Regards, Graham.

I even got a PM from Thomas Gakash, asking me about the illegal distribution. I repeat, they are obviously pirated software, we dont know what's inside. If they are indeed improvements, I give them props, but I wont be the one testing them. From what I heard, they stole the sources of Fruit 2.3.1 beta and integrated them in to their new version along with SMP support. God darn, why me? Why not Terry Mccracken, or Graham Banks?

1.4 beta 4a seems perfectly legal (and real); the others break the GPL. The beta contains a shared hash parallel search and some other changes, all original code as far as I can see.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first open-source implementation of Shared Hash.

I'm new here, so I don't want get into trouble AGAIN for posting an illegal link, so I will just say there is a German forum which appears to be above board and all, where testing of "Deep Toga" 1.4 is discussed, and I have seen there is a member on that forum by the name of Graham Banks. If anyone is interested and if the mods say it is OK I can provide a link.

Hmm, I thought most SMP engines have shared main hash (but some have other hashes, like pawn hash not shared).

True, but I meant shared hash as in "not YBWC".

Both the CSS and Schachwerkstatt are well known German forums, so I don't see the harm in linking to them.
