We think our Plague plays better than Smaug.

This programming thing is easy....no?

Re: Plague: a "new" chess engine based on Smaug
hmm, what about "Balbo" or "Hobbit" as it's looks similiar to "Glaurung" or "Smaug", therefore clearly stated that you have no intention to claims it as your original work, it should make engine origin clearHarvey Williamson wrote:How about PlaqueF.

Good job Chris
There is nothing quite like the personal touch......
All this "new" stuff is really taking it out of me. I never knew that development could be so intensive.

Some people might against derivatives and prefer original engine, but consider every download hit as a support for your engine
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=202880
Setting up the linker was most difficult thing but I think I've got it working now.
I am going to try this switch.....
-funroll-all-loops
Anything that has fun in it gets my vote every time.
Thanks for your support btw.....I could never have done any of this without a computer and an internet connection.

That word "clone" has been used in this thread, yet the thread has not been deleted. Why ? I think it is time to clean up.
Maybe that is even why Lance mentioned the word. Shrewd

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Why this thread has not been deleted although that "you know what" word is mentioned?
hmm, I think perhaps because the word "Rybka" is not mentioned. If someone mentioned that "you know who" word, this thread surely be deleted.

Lance (I hope I don't put words in his mouth) was thinking about derivatives, so much so that he thought maybe it was the way to go.
I think this thread is as valid as say....the thread on Smaug. It is often useful to discuss things in a humorous way to illustrate a point.
We think that point has been illustrated more than adequately.
Black humour is as useful as no humour at all.

A bit too close to the bone Steve?
Did we tell the truth again?
Do what you like of course....I see nothing bad about showing something with humour to people.
