Deepest condolences!

Tragic to hear that.
It really drives it home when one of those statistics is suddenly someone that you know.
Damn the pandemic.
Not just the minor inconvenience for me, but the tragedy wrought upon entire extended family groups.

[Graham Banks]

Oh no! That's terrible!

Condolences to his loved ones.

Sad To Hear About His Passing......RIP... did not know him personally so pulled the history to get a sense of the man...He was really keyed in....

Current beta version of Romi chess using the book from Dr. WD is a dangerous oppoent to any engine. These are one of the best results Romi ever had against Arasan, so I just got way too excited so I had to post it here. The start rating for engines is 2400.

Code: Select all

2 RomiChessDK5              : 2510   90 (+ 53,= 10,- 27), 64.4 %

Lime 6.3                      :  30 (+ 27,=  2,-  1), 93.3 %
Zappa 1.1                     :  30 (+ 10,=  4,- 16), 40.0 %
Arasan 9.5                    :  30 (+ 16,=  4,- 10), 60.0 %

Every engine that supports WB protocol is used as a WB engine.

Rybka is still going to win the tournament.

I agree with you on this one.

You know that Junior will claim that they were the only team without a loss.

How much memory is the engine using under the task manager? Is it only using 1 MB? I had that problem until Graham send me his wb2uci.ini. Here is the one for one of the chessmaster 10000 personalities. Using this, The King uses a total of 32MB I believe. As the programmer of Sage and Pooky you wouldnt have a problem figuring out what's going on.

I dont know where you got your facts from, but obviously you have never run a CM10th personality in chessbase. You can change the hash to basically whatever you want it. For 40/40 we run the CM10 personalities on 124mb hash, because they wont hit directly on 128mb. That is as close as you can get. For blitz you can run them on 32 mb, or anything else, just like any other UCI engine. You just cannot lower the hash, only raise it. It you want to lower the hash, the workaround is change engines, lower hash, and then change back to CM. Is all this clear?

Daddy George

George, what happend to you? I do not own any chessbase products, I use arena only. Under arena, regardless of what you change, the display shows 2MB hash usage, but you can see another process running on task manager named Kingwb13 that uses around 32MB. Again, I am using the package send to me by Graham.

Prayers to his family and friends.

Very sad news!
Condolences!

Tony was Romi's only beta tester. I made progress when he was thoroughly testing every beta I through at him. I stopped making progress when he stopped testing. I wish him a good journey in the afterlife!
