(OT) Dirty Jul 20 2007

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

A certain chess engine out there displays "Dirty Jul 20 2007" when started.
Was July 20th 2007 really that dirty ?
Can a chess engine make the day of its release dirty ?

still pondering,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Well, our fellow Pradu is too lazy for keeping track of version numbers, so he uses the compiling date :)

About the "Dirty" name itself... well, the broadcast between Buzz search and the eval DLL is not as "clean" as one would desire, and the name of the tourney where it was mainly tested is "The Dirty Dozen" so ... :)
