I always did only self-testing, and typically got about one half of the expected gain in CCRL. I certainly worked for me and works for others (if you play enough games) I did something non-standard perhaps, namely always playing against the last released version (=any fixed stable previous version);...

I suspect Stockfish would run on Linux. Unfortunately no featured Chess GUI exist for Linux AFAIK.

xboard works very well on Linux, of course

Not having an evaluation function? So it just generates moves, searches through trees, and then doesn't evaluate them? Did you actually benchmark how much time the move generation takes? Move generator really is essential part of any chess engine. Most of us had to actually debug it ;) (you don't n...

Thanks, this is what I'm looking for. I use C++ as a better C. So something like "thread ->commandQueue.push(quit);" looks like writing a class and calling member functions. I would rather not have to learn programming with classes. But, I should be able to do the same just using C style functions,...

I see. This should be fairly straightforward then. I'd create a simple thread-safe queue first, perhaps a simple wrapper around std::deque with a mutex. Then something similar to auto-reset event in WinAPI; condition variable + mutex + flag. With those, you should be able to do what you want quite e...

Okay after thinking about it for two seconds t can just be stored in the global polling table. So I just need to know if it will work. Also does join or detach need to be used? I don't understand those yet. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish exactly? I'd recommend using condition variabl...

I do appreciate your point. Stockfish still needs depth in the 60's to find mate-in-5 here: rk6/p1r3p1/P3B1Kp/1p2B3/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1 This seems to be one of the positions where disabling nullmove helps, I bet SF would then see the mate immediately. Don't wager anything of value to you. :lol: Stock...

Hmm, maybe it could be related to DS-Lite?

If that's the case, you may need to contact your ISP

Hi Graham, I am working on my connection to your TLCV server. Do you know by chance which protocol do I need to connect there. I have many options such as TCP, UDP.... etc. TLCV/TLCS use UDP You need to allow incoming UDP at ports 160xx (firewall/router), which is what Graham uses to broadcast IIRC
