And what do you mean?

[Henk]

The SkipperWinb engine does not use JavaScript or any other scripting language. So not guilty ?

Funny hg's tournament!
I will participate with my new Isa , who is a lot stronger (tested at 2020 elo)
2000 barier is broken !

[Henk]

I should be glad if Skipper does not crash or play illegal moves. Skipper still has problems with beating fairy-max so no ELO progress. Best result was 87% on WAC test. But that was before I removed a castling bonus bug.

I think Skipper will participate in these meaningless computations and I will start the evil cmd script.

Beware not to lose from Skipper otherwise you won't trust your engine for the next month. There is still a 0.5% chance.

None want to waste the time with you even me but for the Last time:
Don't use ONLY Wac , PLAY MUCH GAMES
Wac is not sufficent to say à version is better than another because Wac is all about tactic
PLAY GAMES!!
And if you're not much patient to let play skipper 600 games , change your hobby , collect old moneys, chips packets etc
Bests

1) If it can't solve WAC then it certainly fails tactically. So first goal is to solve WAC

2) A hobby always is a waste of time. So why change it.

Ok as usual you don't understand , ok , do what you want BUT
Your engine can solve 87% of Wac even 95 but it could never reach those kind of strong winning positions in REAL games because it is weak , or is search is buggy or ,or, or...
FIRST let's play skipper à decent full game , test it against previous versions AND some engines too...
THEN AFTER ALL , do some tests sets to refine your search and eval
And also ... stop trolling à lot ...
