This would be great as the opening repertoire definitely needs to have variation.

Sure, that will be a new feature for the next release!

The baseline number of entropy bits per position is 0.85. So 200 nodes could result in space savings of up to 58%, 1600 in 68%, 12800 in 87%. If we add 10% overhead for this B+ tree-like indexing, it's still a lot of savings. While this scheme would be slower, the files would be smaller so they cou...

Yeah, the accuracy will vary quite a bit based on the EGTB. You could do iterative deepening to look at more nodes if the results after 200 nodes are not decisive I am sure a few more thousands of nodes are not enough for complicated endgame positions. E.g., if an endgame has DTC/DTM about 30, you ...

- Based on some quick tests, we should get 97% agreement What data did you get from that quick test? If an engine can provide enough data and correct 97% with that shallow search we don’t need EGTB at all ;) Some big problems may be: - you can’t get 97% of all positions with that shallow search. Dr...

I installed
version 0.37

Select Concurrency: 4 games 256 hash each engine
After a few games the tournament is interrupted.

My computer has 6 cores. Amd Ryzen

How many cores did you set for each engine?
Can you give me the list of engines, I will try to reproduce the issue. Thanks

Hello,

Feature Request:

Would like to see the ability to change the font color of the digits displayed on the 'Score Graph'.

Thanks, and I hope you are doing well.

Thanks for the suggestion. This feature will be added to the next release.

Excellent - job well done. If you are still taking suggestions ... board colors : light squares ffdedede , dark squares : ff538835 and for the moves/analysis section a black or nearly black background with green or yellow font color if you need a color converter #ff538835 is green https://8-digit-h...

Just got BanksiaGUI, seems to work fine on my iPad 2019. Great achievement, thanks a lot !!! (small) question : in a game (book on) e4 is always answered by c5. How to get more variety ? Thanks for the feedback. The opening line is almost fixed because BSG always picks the best reply for a given po...
