Hi, I found the .exe :D
But the .exe works only on modern CPUs (Skylake, Ivy Bridge) not Bloomfield like my i7 920.

There is an exe within my archive, but not in the standard one.
Mine is build for the CPU I built with which is (Intel Xeon E5-1650).
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Congratulations on the new release.

I noticed some of my "temporary hacks" survived into the final version, e.g. see the code in tb_probe_wdl_impl():

Code: Select all

    static uint64_t cache[4096] = { 0 };
This only exists because I could not easily figure out how to add entries to Crafty's TT in the syzygy prototype. Looking at the new code, it appears this problem is fixed, so the "cache" can probably be removed.

I have several things on my to-do list to simplify all of this stuff anyway...

What are the chances that we can induce Chessbase to make a CB native version?

Many open source developers just release a source code, there are several good reasons why they do so. The "roll-eyes-smiley" is definetely out of place here.

Shame on me!
Had overwritten the download from your link with another one from Crafty-site.

I'd say somewhat better than getting Bob to make a UCI one.

How can I enable syzygy egtb?
Can you please post a new .rc file?
