Naum 4.6 (64-bit only) free to you all!

[Sedat Canbaz]

One question (for those who claim that Rybka is clone of Fruit)
If Rybka is clone of Fruit, why the similarity data show us 48 % ???


Yes....we lost a great programmer (Vasik Rajlich)
A real genius in chess programming !

A special note for Vas,
I miss you a lot ! Believe me your engine will live forever in my heart as KING !!


Best,
Sedat

I would really like to see a Rybka 5 for sure. I am sure it would be a monster or will this be like Fischer winning the WC and then that's it?

I hardly doubt that we will see ever Rybka 5

After those BIG injustices over Vas...I don't think he will come on the scene again...

Sad, but true...


Best,
Sedat

Staying in the background only solidifies people's views of you. He's better off coming out swinging with Rybka 5.

My views belong to me and I can understand very well Vas's reaction
It's not so easy as it looks...

For example,
I remembered now again when I gave up my computer chess hobby for temporally time...

And do you know why mainly I gave up in those days...??
Just because there were BIG injustices over my opening books too!
Maybe some guys will remember who were those attackers and the supporters ?!

But I am back again...and I hope to see Vas too...!!


Best,
Sedat

Vitruvius 1.19 TCEC would be awesome to made it public after Alex Naumov's great decision to give us his engine for download. Best regards!

Exactly my thoughts....

It looks like some chess friends challenge Vas to be on the scene again
And I hardly doubt that we will see ever Rybka 5 ...but in case:
-I would not surprise Rybka 5 engine to be the number one again (as before)...!!

Btw,
Vas is retired from Computerchess when he was on Top for almost 6 years!
No any other author has such great record to be on Top for a such long time!
Another record, no any other top engine is improved more than 500 Elo points in a such short time !
A little note: many Top engines become stronger after Ippo (Rybka) release!
Another my note:
No one can be on Top by the work of others!

Yes...Mr. Rajlich is retired when he was on Top...
I know this feeling all too very well !!!

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I compiled the FRC version although you should test it first to see if it works properly.
As for the post on chess2u.com and since Ray made me dig out the source code and compile it, I also compiled 32-bit version and included linux and mobile versions of 4.2 in the package. It would me to much work to make linux/mobile compiles of 4.6 and demand for those versions is small anyway.

Good news...

And thanks to Alex Naumov and Graham Banks !

Btw, as far as I know,
Naum 4.2 seems to be derivative or clone of Rybka
So...Naum 4.6 will be tested in SCCT, only in case of +100 Elo over Rybka 3

Thanks for understanding!)

My best wishes,
Sedat

First I heard of that. If my memory serves me correctly Naum was on the scene before Rybka?

Hey man !

May I help you ? Both (Rybka & Naum) are Fruit derivatives !

I did not see a convincing evidence for these claims.

Hi Uri,

Do not confuse the terms 'derivative' and 'clone'. A derivative engine starts out by modifying the source code of another engine. In many cases the code morphs enough to be considered as acceptable by the community. Naum is one of those engines.

In the past Alex posted that his first Naum code was based on Fruit. That is when I added the note about it. He has never stated that his latest code is no longer based on Fruit. Perhaps the engine has been totally rewritten and is 100% original. All I know is that the engine originally was based on Fruit code.

FYI: No engine known to be a clone is listed on the Chess Engine List.
