74 moves game !!!

It means Tiny and GetClub are nearly equal. But GetClub is taking 15
sec/ move and Tony taking 8 sec / move.

Just a moment ago the game was improved a bit. I don't know the above
game was played after the improvement or befire that.

If this game was played before the improvement. Then Tony will find it
much difficult to win new games. But if the game was played after the
improvement, Then Both programs are equal.

A match lost isn't an indicator of equalness.

You can download my program at http://tmokonen.110mb.com/tonyschess/
if you want to try it out or test against it.

Thanks. Why is there no analysis mode? It's far easier to implement than
time controls.

What is a BookThinker?

I didn't implement analysis mode yet, sorry. The program does not
check for keyboard input during the search. It sort of works with
time controls, but incremental time controls remain a problem.
Increasing the movesleft parameter in the .ini file decreases the
amount of time used.

BookThinker is a utility that comes with the chess engine Thinker.

http://www.geocities.com/thechessthinker/download.html

Basically, it provides opening book functionality for engines that
don't have a book, to run in GUIs that don't have a native book format
(eg Winboard). The download for Thinker doesn't come with a book, but
it does come with a utility to make books from PGN files. I can send
you a book that I made myself, it's given me decent results so far.

I usually use native Arena books without a problem. I hope to have an
own book with the next release of Tony's Chess, when I get off my lazy
butt to do it .

Sorry, Simon, I missed your first question. No sleep last night.
I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I actually was going to ask you the
same thing, one of your addresses says Germany, and the other says
Liectenstein.

Nearly everyone seems to be from the american west coast here. :-)

Germany is right, Hamburg to be exact.

Ah, of course. I do the search in an extra thread. It's quite easy to do
in Java.
