Compile request - GarboChess 3

[Jim Ablett]

I've compiled some builds.
I also ported the src code to Mingw/Gcc/Linux so it will now compile on these platforms as well as Msvc/Intel for Windows.

Included in the download are compiles for Win32/x64, Linux 32/64 & Android.

Thanks for the port Jim! Works great for Android (with a minor formatting fix to ensure author and engine name are parsed well).

I also made a smaller dynamically linked binary for Android. If Gary gives me his permission, I can put this on my Android engine website.

Many thanks for the fix Aart.

Here are new links for the updated package (Android fix & src update).
When your Android compile becomes available I would like to include it as it is a bit smaller (if that's ok).

Thanks Jim! That is far faster than my compile ever was.

Great. I put the dynamically linked garbochess on my engines website. I am running a quick tournament to compare the engine with some other Android engines.

To get an idea of the strength, below the results of several quick matches on a Nexus S using random book opening play, one second-per-move, 32MB hash, and 8MB tablebases cache with the 3- and 4-piece Nalimov, Gaviota, Scorpio, Robbobases endgames on SD card. A screenshot can be found at my blog.

Thanks Aart! Those results are about what I would expect . That last two years have seen some impressive progress in open source engine strength.

Hi Gary, hi Jim,
Thanks for the engine and the compile.
Here I cannot set hash for GarboChess 3 it uses default 83MB.
And when installing the engine inside Shredder GUI - I see no engine name in Jim´s compile?
And I miss the output in the engine window only in Shredder GUI - works in Arena.

I would like to use 256 MB Hash!

best wishes
Werner

Thanks for trying it out Werner. I will have to go back and do a little more work on the engine before it plays games well. It wasn't really ready for rigorous testing yet. I'll make an official announcement later this month.
