Re: New engine releases & news 2021
Rustic Alpha 1 has just been released. Congratulations for a first fully functional engine - I played a game against Rustic and got checkmated, so it works :) (I'm a very weak player and I blundered a lot). So it seems I can no longer tease you for not having written an engine :) This is just the b...

Re: Andscacs nnue 0.1
Now, of course, I think people should write their own code, or use code with permission. But it seems like we don't even want people to learn from each other. I think you possibly misunderstand what this is. The author has effectively copy-pasted Stockfish's evaluation function into their engine (t...

Re: CEGT - rating lists January 17th 2021
thanks, Werner.
good result for Cheng (better than what I expected), so even if it goes down a bit with more games, I'm glad it holds even at longer TC

Re: g++10 versus g++9
10% lower nps - that's at most 10 elo at hyperbullet, realistically about 5.
so I wonder where you get -45

Re: Weaker play with TT
P.S. Martin, comewhere in the Cheng thread you've mentioned something like: "because I've made no progress since 4.40dev and because CEGT is already testing Guenther's compiles" - I just wanted to ask what you do when feel that kind of reaching the limits - when you feel like you can't make an engi...

Re: Weaker play with TT
I see. have you tried to mask it to 32 bits (or 31) first, like hashKey &= 0xffffffff? then use %?
still - if you round number of entries to nearest power of two and then mask with num_entries-1, it should work as is

Re: Weaker play with TT
I don't understand your masking around hashEntries: var hashEntry = hashTable[hashKey & (hashEntries - 4)]; why -4, plus hashEntries seems nowehere close to a power of two (default is some weird value like 16M/80, so I'm puzzled if hashEntries was 2**n, then masking with (hashEntries-1) I would unde...

thanks for the tournament, it was fun to follow except for some hiccups (like streaming stopped after n rounds for some reason etc.)

Re: CCRL 40/15, 40/2 and FRC lists updated (9th January 2021)
thanks for testing Cheng (Gabor I guess?)
if this result holds, that would mean that I broke 3k CCRL blitz - a very important milestone to me (even if elo is relative)
