I am just wondering why do they allow Thinker to attend the tournaments at CCT, since it is mandatory to kibitz the last PV lines and evaluation outputs of the engine....bob wrote:Just to keep things in perspective, feel free to try to explain to me how one actually develops a chess engine that does _not_ display the PV or score?

Outperforming stockfish.
Possibly could beat Rybka.
All in a program the size of a grain of sand.
I do have two wishes:
1. A cotton-picking, gravy-licking pv
2. For Lance and {someone else is working on it now whose name escapes me} to write a book on how to write a chess program.
food for thought, for those that actually have inquiring minds, rather than being mindless followers...
There is logical, and there is irrational, one chooses their camp.

Re: Thinker is blowing my mind
In CCT not all rules are strictly being followed, it is up to the director really, I have not verified if Thinker was kibitzing required outputs or not during CCT, however the authors of Thinker are shall we say recognized, trustworthy, I have no problem with that.bhlangonijr wrote:I am just wondering why do they allow Thinker to attend the tournaments at CCT, since it is mandatory to kibitz the last PV lines and evaluation outputs of the engine....bob wrote:Just to keep things in perspective, feel free to try to explain to me how one actually develops a chess engine that does _not_ display the PV or score?

I never heard of the program "Rick48 v4", and that seems to be doing well. What program is that?
