Dumb 1.1 for Windows

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

Richard made a Windows compile here:
https://github.com/abulmo/Dumb/releases ... indows.zip

Le zip contient un executable pour win64 (avec popcnt, avx, sse4.2) et un autre pour win32 (sans options).

Only a hint:
For an examination which instructions are supported by your CPU cf. freeware Speccy https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy

Best wishes,
Norbert

How strong is this engine? I mean, what's its IQ relative to Moron 0.3?

On my computer, dumb is close to beowulf in strength. It is stronger than TSCP (for obvious reason) and than micromax or kingslayer (surprisingly to me, as dumb has less knowledge). On CCRL or CEGT I guess its rating should be a little over 2000.

Yes, I was just trying be funny. I looked at the code, and Dumb is certainly a solid chess engine.

Well, If I remember well Moron was a recurrent joke in this forum and not a real engine.
Dumb is also a king of joke, but is a real engine. I just wanted to make a simple engine with limited knowledge (material + positional) and a correct but simple search (with just a basic hash table, null move and chess extension, nothing more). The move generator is also quite compact, but relatively efficient.
IMHO, an engine that is more sophisticated and significantly weaker than dumb is either buggy or poorly implemented.
