Hi Sergei,
thanks - now works on my I7 920 too - but only if w_ccompxe_redist_intel64_2011.0.104.msi is installed.
(I mean this Version SmarThink_v140_x64_SSE3.exe)
best wishes

It's still not loading under the Fritz / Chessbase GUI and I have a Sandy Bridge CPU.

What's changed since 1.20 by the way?

[Damir]

Same here. The engine won't load. I still get an error saying engine can't load. Can this be fixed ?

Hi Sergei,

Thanks for the update. After installing the 64-bit distributable, the SSE3 compile works all right for me in the command line. I haven't had the opportunity to try to install it under some GUI.

BTW, what ini file should I use when SmarThink is installed as a WinBoard engine?

I just installed ST under WB and it exited saying it does not find the egtb's.

I could install it as a UCI engine under Fritz 13. No adapter was needed.

Thanks, Sergei.

Can you, please, link with static libraries ?
... so that we don't have to go downloading virus-infected dll files from internet.

Matthias.

Hi Matthias

I think the link works fine right now. I have downloaded it without any problems...

[SzG]

I have installed it under Shredder successfully.

Also, it works under WinBoard now. I have found an old ini file to use. For those interested, here is how it looks:
