The CCRL member said he does not want to test my engine because my engine only uses 5MB of hash.
Graham Banks wrote: Fri Nov 01, 2024 2:50 am According to Task Manager, your engine is only using 5.7MB hash. Is there a way to set it to use 256MB?
Actually, the reason is that I have a waiting list of 40+ engines to test for the 40/15 list, and I'm not looking at ones that are weaker than 2400 for now. However, it would be ideal if your engine was also able to use 256mb hash.

This release be a PST/material only version, which naturally has a rating below 2100. If you only test engines with a rating above 2400, I have to add a few things:
  • Evaluation for pawns, mobility, king safety and threats
  • Restructure of eval into combined MG/EG values
  • Tuning of eval parameters, including source generation for parameter values
Do you promise to test the next version of the engine if it is above 2400?

I could include it in my Amateur Series.

Yes. Might not be many games though unless by some miracle I get the chance to run a gauntlet.
Genuine question - why not use your real name?

In case you have not noticed, his name is displayed in his picture profile. :) If it is real or not is hard to tell...

In that case is fictional and not real name he is using. I don't understand what's the point in people not registering with their real name.

To be honest, I have no motivation to increase my engine rating anymore. You kept me waiting for more than a month to test my engine, but you didn't keep your promise. The requirement to reach 2400 rating is just an excuse because you know I can't do it.

Thanks to all who tested my engine. I guess my mood really came through in my last message. I would like to collaborate with HGM in developing a chess engine.

Not an excuse at all. I explained why.

If you can eventually reach 2400, I'll be happy to include it in my Amateur Series.

If you're prepared to join the discord engine programming channel, there will be several there willing to help you learn how to improve your engine. https://discord.gg/KyrRsJM7
