Re: discovered check definition
The SMIRF website did not give discovered checks, did it? I thought it gave just checks, double checks and checkmates. I would not count castling checks, although there is one case where a castling check has the character of a discovered check, where you check with the Rook and attack something tha...

Re: Nondeterministic Testing in Weak engines such as Eden 0.
Mr. Hyatt, what do you think about FIXED TIME PER MOVE condition? I use it by now for several reasons, mostly because my engine has not any time management yet :lol: . Seriously, I am simply not interested in this one since at the present stage I care solely about search and evaluation improvements ...

Yes, I definitely vote for this one. It looks like stolen from my header file ...

Re: hyperbola-quintessence
P.S. I remember reading the Hyperbola website a while back, maybee about some seven(?) years ago. I was starting with C and chess programming then and toying with some basic bit fiddling and assembler. I was taken with the idea but reversing bitboards or updating them during the make/unmake_move app...

Re: hyperbola-quintessence
Wow, you are really fast, thanks for reply ...
Now I see how it works, really simple and clever. It seems that reversed bitboards are not so much reversed actually

Re: hyperbola-quintessence
Please Gerd, could You be so kind and give me the definition of bswap(), or am I asking for too much ... ? Is it reversing bits or just only swaping bytes? Yes, I am too lazy to figure it myself ... 
Thanks
Filip

Thanks
Filip

Re: Perishing Perft !
Quick Perft (7) takes only 8.9 sec on my new Core 2 Duo machine (E6600, 2.4GHz)! 8-) It seems that I have got perhaps even little bit faster compilation of your Perft, on my Core2Duo T5500@1.66GHz it takes only 11.3 sec (by accident, my engine is exactly just as fast, but only in this particular po...

Re: Perishing Perft !
Hi, let me show my humble bunch of numbers ... All tests have been done without use of hashing (which I have not implemented in perft), however with hash keys as well as all other unnecessary data structures updated in make/unmake functions (they are the same as in the regular search). Only move eva...

Re: Strelka: Justice in Reverse
Nr ONE is not solved by either Rybka nor Strelka, so it's obvious that there is some problem with Zugzwang. Nr TWO is solved by BOTH Rybka & Strelka, and that is really strange, because in fact it is the SAME Zugzwang problem, so far I only know engines which either solve BOTH or none of them. This...
