help me in the csvn tournament

[op12no2]

After I synced with time.apple.com from my Windows machine "string time" went from around 200 to 45000. Possible coincidence but worth a try.

Will try that. I'm now getting 100% usage on all 6 cores and 45000 string time on the Linux boot, without doing anything.

You can try:

QueenBee -n 1 -L 5000 -l 4000
QueenBee -n 1 -L 5001 -l 4001
QueenBee -n 1 -L 5002 -l 4002
...

I've heard that this works.

Folkert, can you give us some information when the engine is calculating ? Because I have started QueenBee, but it seems to do nothing except some "keep-alive" and latency-measurements... CPU usage close to 0%...

[Thomas Mayer]

okay, now it has started to do something here and there... since it doesn't completely block the computer I just let it run, if it helps you a bit, this would be fine...

The matches can be followed at csvn.nl/live-tournament-cloud and the scheme is at http://csvn.nl/nieuws-mainmenu-28/51-to ... ivity-2014 but please note that we have a one hour shift due to heavy traffic jam.

Good luck !

QueenBee playing some definitely strange moves ....

[Thomas Mayer]

Anyway, I like this 'Cloud'-Approach... that it hasn't been done with too much success so far doesn't mean that it can't be done.

Maybe it is playing suicide chess.

Seriously, maybe some kind of preprocessing is necessary to find the 10 or so most promising moves for a shootout.
