So many nice releases these days

[Rodolfo Leoni]

Stockfish 9, Cfish 9, Baron 3.42, Smarthink, Skipper no progress, and many interesting others. A pity the greatly interesting LCZero is still a private experiment for few elected people...

In general, I feel fortunate to live in these times. We can watch TCEC around the clock, download free top engines, and interact with other fans in real time.

I still remember waiting for Fidelity to release a unit that would not make me want to laugh (or cry) on reaching the endgame. And then I wondered if I would be able to afford it (or should). Then I discovered Larry's Computer Chess Reports and felt really happy that there actually were other people as into it all as I was.

Again, we are fortunate to live in these special times for our hobby. A good reminder to offer thanks to all who have selflessly contributed to it. I for one am very grateful.

So, big thanks to all authors, tournament directors, and other contributors!

Cheers,
PK

In the late 80s I had a chess computer and always wondered why it played horrible in the endgame.

Where can I download Skipper no progress?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

I was just waiting for someone who noted that.

Just to continue with some sane humour, there was SkipperZero - no progress, and there's Skipper infinite - no progress now. Both forks of the main engine Skipper...

BTW, I'm really curious to know how it could work without a NN and, in any case, I hope to see "Skipper - progresses"!

Me too.

We are still missing someone providing live commentary for engine-engine matches, we already could have it in a platform like Youtube or Twitch, but nobody has jumped to do it yet.

You'd just need to stream, or restream some of the things that are being streamed now.

I believe it was Brian Wilson who said, "And we'll have fun fun fun...".

And Richard Pijl always wrote me "Have fun!" every time he sent me a new beta. A single lifetime is too little for having all that fun.

I always liked Amyan releases by Antonio Dieguez because he would always say,
"Just Amyan."

Where can I download Skipper no progress?

Thanks in advance.

There is no progress in making that possible.
