That is more than I expected, although I haven't much testing with chess960. How many games did you play?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I can’t access Frank Quisinsky’s site for the latest Wasp news, has he moved it?


Thanks,

Hi Scally,

my website is closed.
No more interest to work on it or on an other site with computer chess information.

John Stanback is working on a site about Wasp with the all the downloads since Wasp 1.00.
Furthermore, John is working on Wasp 6.00 NN.
With Wasp 6.00 NN the URL will be available.
After all I know it need a bit longer as "end of July".

At the moment the last "Wasp 5.58 NN dev" is around 60 Elo stronger (+-10) as the last release Wasp 5.50 NN.
Thanks for your interest and thanks to Günther for the answer.

Best
Frank

Frank and I decided to create a new website for Wasp. Here is the link:

I am still working on Wasp 6.0 and hope to release it by the end of August or so.

I just want to inform you that the download for Wasp 5.50 is blacklisted.
Same happened already for the last weeks with the same download from Franks page.

I checked now what exactly this means and according to a check via 'Sucuri' it's just
on McAfees blacklist.

Ah and before I forget a few downloads don't work, because the links
end on .zip.zip instead of .zip

Thats true. Chrome e.g. is not allowing to download it. I before also had problems with 360 total security.
