That's why I didn't post to show my interest, but I sent a private message to show my interest

So you apply double standard,eh

[Graham Banks]

Did I say that I am also interested

Did I say that I am not interested

At least not in a program where the author needs 100 postings like "Yeah, I can´t live without your famous program!" before he is willing to release it ...

Nothing wrong with positive support and encouragement for an engine author Franz!

ok everybody, the message is clear

All who are interested in bright 0.3a should stay tuned for an announcement within the next couple of days or so...

Anyway, I guess I could release bright 0.3a as a public version if there is enough interest. Anybody?

Yes, Allard I would be interested. Bright had a very interesting style and was quite good in testsuites. Unfortunately I could never get it to work on my Quad 6600. I thought it was because of Vista however I've since installed XP pro x64 and it still gives a message "bright 0.2c has encountered a problem" in Arena. It works on my dual 6600 though. Perhaps its how it was compiled. I hope I have better luck with bright 0.3 since I like aggressive engines. Thanks again for your engine.

Dann Corbit just reported this bug: if the egbb.dir INI-file entry is not correct, bright will crash on startup.

If that's not it, could you send/post the output that you see when you start bright from a console window?

Yes, that's the message I get when I start it in console. I copied the bitbases to my C and now it works. Thanks!

Allard, now that it works I can see that Bright must be 32-bit only. I get an average speed-up of 194% going from my Dual to the Quad. With Rybka I get a 260% increase when using the 64-bit version. Would it be possible to include a 64-bit compile for the next release also?

Bright is not a bitboard engine, so the speed-up for 64 bit will be less than Rybka's speedup on 64 bit.
Unfortunately I do not own a 64 bit machine and I do not think my gcc supports 64 bit compiles. I'll keep it in mind for a future release, though.
