Ivanhoe GitHub created

[Gusev]

I have created a GitHub for those who would like to work together on the next version of Ivanhoe (presumably, 999945a), https://github.com/Censor/Ivanhoe. I have also become a member of the Ivanhoe Wiki, http://ivanhoe.wikispaces.com/, where compiles can be published. The current code in the master branch of the GitHub compiles under Windows in the MP (Titanic) mode and allows to set RobboBase directories. However, RobboBases are not used (this is to be investigated and fixed). It would also be nice to make sure that this same code is compatible with Linux, then maintain compatibility as changes are introduced. Right now, this is just 999946h renamed. Contributors are welcome!

Rationale. The Stockfish team has the right approach, they just proved it at TCEC. This approach should be used by contributors to other free, open-source chess engine projects, such as Firenzina (GPL) and Ivanhoe (public domain). Healthy competition will benefit the community. Also, I am uncertain if IvanHoe 46ei can be considered open-source, yet I want apple-to-apple comparison.

What is the problem you have,
Remember IvanHoe46 that dynamic library need separate,
as ComStock_3.
You can use mine or those of Kinglivenson, or compile from the directory
\IvanHoe_999946f.rar\IvanHoe_999946f\src\RobboBaseLib-0.65a\.
Greetings.

You don't seem to be a programmer, anyhow good luck and have fun !

Dmitri might be a newcomer in the computer chess field, but:
1- he is proficient and talented in programming, and obviously enthusiastic and good-willing regarding computer chess.
2- either here, on Facebook or in nTCEC I've always seen him being a very nice person who never said or did anything wrong to anybody.

Despite that, Dmitri has been given quite a harsh treatment by some older users here since he registered a few months ago, and this makes me (and other persons) quite sad. Other people already left the forum because of that, and I myself lost much of my own enthusiasm.

Bottom line is: there are human beings behind the users, so, people, think twice before you fall on someone.

(@Marco: this remark is not targeted at you, it's a general remark to everybody, as I've seen such things happening quite a lot. People doing that don't seem to be bad people, but I think they don't realize how strong their language can be sometimes.)

I didn't mean to be harsh. I just gave a lookat the commits on his githubs projects, hence my comment, nothing more.

I wasn't aware he has been attacked here.

I know, Marco, no problem. This thread just triggered my reaction, because of what happened on this forum in the past. Dmitri and Matthews set up a common project and were mocked. Now Matthews left, and Dmitri is trying something new anyway.

[Martin Thoresen]

Well said Julien. Dmitri has been nothing but polite, a real gentleman from my point of view.

However, I think he still has the overall lead on me in our chess matches.

[velmarin]

One point if Marco is right.

Wiki-Ippolit, still alive, I do not understand how it works, but someone seems to do something.
In Immortal forum there are some who occasionally do or suggest things, not dead at all.

I suggest leaving the numbering "*** 45" to the Wiki or who is behind the Tarball Ivanhoe,
SERIES suggest putting another, but just a friendly suggestion.

Whenever another project compiled a third wear something that differentiates, especially for respect the author.

Good luck, I hope Matthew and then joins the forum, soon Mattew.

All who try to do chess engines are rather more some breeders than programmers.

I must admit, Firenzina commits have been erratic. Thank you very much for your constructive criticism!
