i am interested from 1985 about computerchess, but first try to write a chessprogramm fails, then i tryed again in end of 1995 so first release of my EnginMax was about 1999/2000 i thought, and this had first rating of about 1500 elo i think.
i do not copy any sources before and i dont come after fruit or ippolit area with a 3000 engine.
the rating of actual Tornado about 2800 elo is long long way of try and fails many many years of my hard working on it.
may i had to do easier if i copy any sources from Fruit, SF or like ippolit ?
People are simply born with different talents and abilities and your ability in chess and programming cannot be the same as that of Bob Hyatt, Vasik, Milos, Jouna & Marco, Robert Houdart, Richard Vida. So you took many years to create a 2800 Elo engines. Vasik took just one year after the release of Fruit's sources to come out with an all-time winner Rybka 1.0 - he is smart and got the hints juts reading through the sources of Fruit. So what Vasik did, Robert Houdart or Richard Vida could easily do, nothing really very special - provided your talent is in chess and programming. If for every 20 lines of new codes you add there is one line with a serious bug, then you could not be as fast as Richard Vida with Critter - what he does in one year, it will take you eight years... so nothing really surprising that Houdini and Critter seem to appear 'ALL OF A SUDDEN' - but you may not know they already are well versed in all aspect of chess programming.
There are no secrets of chess programming here in this forum - nearly everything there is in chess programming have been discussed and hinted at by various posters. To get out an Elo 3000 engine is not too difficult to someone talented in programming and with the hardware + patience to do testing.
