Do Not Use New Compile with Strelka- Stick with ORIGINAL EXE

[geots]

Stick with the original one that came with Strelka in the beginning. The new compile will play fine if Strelka plays a tourn. game and then doesnt play another till later. But if you are running it in a number of games in a row, ie more than 1, it willl start crashing and losing on time coming out of the opening mostly. I tried it in 2 diff. CB guis on 2 diff. computers. It played one game fine ag. Hiarcs in 40/4 repeating and then lost 10 in a row on time coming out of the opening. Then i put the original exe back in and started the 40/4 repeating over, and it played 10 games in a row perfectly. I have no idea who will, and who wont- have the same problem. But i have seen enough to convince me.

That's a pity George! But at least there is no problem with the old original version? Dann Corbit also made a compile but there were strange problems with that one (http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 02&t=13716). It played different moves than the original. The Bryan Hofmann compile is pretty quick though! I played two testgames in the Shredder GUI just now against Glaurung 2-ε/2, Strelka using Wb2Uci.exe from Odd Gunnar, latest(?) Beta from Wb2Uci that I downloaded a while ago but the exact Wb2Uci version does not make much difference I suppose, and Strelka won both games! Time control 40 in 6 minutes, 20 in 3, rest in 3 minutes. Maybe Strelka also can't handle rest in 3 minutes but I forgot to change that, and the games did not last that long. No loss on time in this match, maybe Chessbase does something differently!

Regards, Eelco
