After a long break after the tumultuous events in the world
computer chess lately, I decided to publish the latest version
The arrow. This publication was preceded by a lot of work, but it was conducted
in private mode. Were made by dozens of versions of the series 3 and 4.
The published version is 5.

I will not dissemble, and say that Arrow 5 is 100 per cent
the original engine. I used a lot of things that could spy
in other programs. This is primarily fish 3, Hippolyta, Houdini, and Kritter
Stokfish. In most algorithms used Houdini version 1.5a,
for that I bring my gratitude to Robert Gudartu and apologies.

But if the arrow 5 would contain only strangers algorithms
I would not publish it. Post the engine only makes sense if
if there is something new, something others do not. Innovations in the arrow 5
quite a lot. The most important innovations - in the evaluation function.

Unfortunately, not all of the planned and managed to make the test.
Because of this, Arrow 5 can sometimes produce strange results, especially
country may be the importance of evaluating the position. This is due to the fact that the assessment
based not only on the basis of the current position, but also as a function depending
from a chain of moves that led to this position. The weights of the various parameters of the engine
not subjected to rigorous testing because of time constraints, so
I have a big request does not kicked over the strange results of the arrows.

As with previous versions of arrows, the new version is 32-bit and
uniprocessor. Therefore, it is difficult to compete with modern 64-bit
and multi-processor monsters. But in his weight class Arrow 5
quite competitive.

Arrow 5 can be downloaded here

Thanks for the link. Thanks to Yuriy for the new engine.
Another 3000 + Engine.

Best,
Gerold.

Good, seems extremely strong for an untuned engine, for now it's next only to Houdini x32 on equal hardware. Hope he will tune it and release later the sources

Yuriy's Strelka 5 has beat Vas to the punch. .

Hippolyta



The engine seems exremely strong though taking into consideration that it's a single processor and x32 chess engine....

To me this seems like retaliation. Retaliation to Houdini going commercial. I'm going to guess this is a fully RE'd Houdini. Of course I cannot prove this.

I dont think its kn/s is real, on my pc it says between 60-160 kn/s and depth to 14-16

I appreciate the new version also. But help me here, as I was out of the loop for a year and a half or so. I keep seeing the reference to "arrows", and above- "Arrow 5 can be downloaded here." The Strelka download with the link above, is that the same as Arrow 5? Just a really short explanation or some history on "Arrow" and how it pertains to Strelka, or "is now Strelka" would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe "arrow" is the google-translation of "strelka", as Houdart=Gudartu... And "fish 3"? R3?
