To put everything into place with Strelka

[Christopher Conkie]

Why are you showing us Smarthink when you have the Strelka code?

Why not show us the Strelka interface instead?

It's useless to anyone without the rest of Strelka anyway.

To be a honest I need a permission from author to do it.
I think, that Bryan's opinion will be enought to stop speculations. Are you agree with it?

No.

Dann Corbit's opinion is the one that counts and always has.

Looks you are not very friendly.
You're don't trusting both me and Bryan Hoffmann?..

Friendlyness is irrelevant. I am simply answering your direct question. There is no need for theatre like your photo.

I trust Dann Corbit and many programmers in here would agree with that. He would like to know I'm sure as well.

If you can supply Dann with what is required I am sure all problems will disappear.

Strelka's interface is enought to make huge engine testing. Other things are not really interesting for engine programmer.

Hmmmm, i can't believe that. At least, just a example, you need a analyze function to verify your changes in evaluation and search.

It's not possible to write a such strong engine without these features...

I made "analyze" function really late. I'm not using it.

Thank you for such a direct answer. I'll remeber it.

Now you know what you must do.

How you do that is up to you and what Dann would need.

That decision would be final were it to transpire.

I always know what I must do and don't need any parental advisory.
Thank you for advice anyway.

Code: Select all

Here is the fragment of SmarThink 0.17a interface implementation. It was a strong engine for that times.

I agree about the strength of the engine.

of Bryan Hoffmann. He compiled a lot of engines including Rybka. He can finally end this story cause he has Rybka sources and can easily compare Strelka and Rybka. I'll ask Osipov and Hoffmann for it.

Brian Hoffman is quite an helpful dude and the guy with good attitude,Thanks for this suggestion

I hope the engine supports all the time controls,I don't need to apologize to the strelka author for anything for I didn't accuse the engine of a clone ,I hope those who accused or even suspected it as a clone, would apologize when this matter ends with Brian's opinion,about whether the engine is a clone or not.

I see no reason to apologize for suspecting that strelka is a clone even if it is not a clone.

There were clear reasons to suspect.
Name of the engine and translation it to english from russian was one of the reasons to think that it is a joke about rybka.

Try to stick to the topic in hand. I know is hard being surrounded by cloners in the kasparov forum and then to come in here and be normal.

This is not parental advice. I have no desire to be your parent.

It is actually the only advice about what needs to happen.

I am not sure what you both mean by analyze function.
If we are talking about analyzing positions then sterlka support fen and it is possible to use sterlka to analyze positions.

If you talk about supporting analyze under winboard then I did not check if sterlka supports it but even if it does not support it then you can still use it to analyze chess positions by telling it to play a game from the relevant position.

If you talk about something else then I do not know what do you mean.

That's up to you. Until then Strelka is over too.

A photo of someone pointing at a laptop does not cut it.

If you know that Strelka is an original work (I hope so too) then there are some questions that need answered by some supporting evidence.

You can see many programmers here wonder about what is known due to others efforts and those questions have not been answered at all.
