Anthony PDC antdeclan_at_hotmail.com wrote in message ... Hallo all. I bought Majestic Chess the other day and I must say it's dead brilliant - especially in Adventure mode: witty, involving, challenging, educational. Lots of thought has gone into it, and there's much to explore and LEARN, in an absorbing, wonderfully cool graphical...

J8 must have some kind of specialized knowledge when evaluating moves, because so far I am very impressed with it's play!! Examples: I was playing white against it in a KIA (5' + 10") and on the 11th move, it played Ke7, foregoing K-side castling!! None of the others I have (Hiarcs 8, Shredder 7, Fritz 8) chose this.

Hi! I realized that the InCheck function of my chess programm is a bottleneck. While the tablebased movegeneration seems fast enough, and also MakeMove is acceptable, InCheck is really slow. Currently I do MakeMove and check the legality by InCheck. Looking one ply deeper and getting the information about illegal positions by generating all moves and recognizing a king capture didn't really show...

Hi! I wrote a simple Checkers program (I know it's not chess, but I believe you can help me anyway) and I wish to improve it. I've found a webpage(http://www.seanet.com/~brucemo/topics/hashing.htm) about transposition table, but I don't understand few things, especially this: 'The hash array is indexed via a ZobristKey. You take the key for the position, modulo it by the number of elements in...

I would like to comment on a relative ability of newer vs. older chess software to spot the key moves in acceptable time frame. I recall my Saitek Simultano on 120/40 levels, it would think for a couple of minutes, being sure of the response found so far, then on depth of 3 it would come up with something dramatically "improved". Seeing this, I would think, hey, this is not such a bad chess...

i am writing an graphical user interface for chess using OpenGl. I need to also validate the moves of the players as the interface should be usable across a network. The problem arises when i try to identify the cases when a checkmate or a stalemate position. i have no better idea than computing all possible next moves and finding that they are invalid. This is a too big a task to perform after...

If you are resonably competent with Access, I put together an Access database last year for our club that will calculate ratings using the method given in USCF's scholastic chess manual. I don't know how "user friendly" it is since I just put it together for my use, but if you're interested, e-mail me and I'll send you a copy of th DB. It basically allows you to input games one at a time but...

From: Alberich Date: 28/08/03 02:17 GMT Daylight Time Message-id: I love SCID's ability to bookmark games for further review later on.

Dear Chess Friends, I got some spam a few months ago: "free software, pay only for shipping." So for $3.95 I got Extreme Chess in the mail. It appears to contain two chess engines: Fritz 3.10 "Hong Kong," and Fritz 4.01. Unless I severely handicap them, both engines seem unbeatable. (I had an 1800 USCF rating in 1972). Extreme installed and works fine on Win XP, (Celeron @ 2.00 GHz, 256 MB...

Hello all... I recently aquired CheesBase's Fritz7 CD from a deceased relative. I am not that great at chess, but find the program pretty cool. I dont have any documentation, so i have a couple questions here... 1. It seems buggy. Program has crashed a few times, and also doesnt save my board settings about 25% of the time. Is there any patches or upgrades i can install?

I have these two programs installed on two computers connected in network. Is there a way to make them play against each other? How can I do it? -- Darko Majdiæ

Can anyone explain what does "UCI" mean when included with the engine name? (on the SSDF list in particular) Thanks. Leonardo

In the posiotion 8/1k6/8/3KB1N1/8/8/5n2/8 w - - 0 1 The Tablebases annouce correctly mate in 85 moves. But strangely they stop to work after 50 moves certainly because of the rule of the 50 moves. To have the end one's have to copy the position in anoter board, finish it and then cut and paste. It think it's strage !

PJ If you're interested in online chess check out FICS (Free Internet Chess Server). Their site has links to free client software, Winboard seems to be the most popular. It takes a little while to set up, but it's great fun and you can't beat free! http://www.freechess.org/

I've heard it said by more than one commentator that computers are too heavily biased by material to sacrifice it for positional advantages that have no immediate tactical payoff. It puzzles me when they say that because I've seen CM9K do it quite often. Here's an example (also attached). The program sacs one pawn and later offers more. The later ones may be tactical, but the pawn I took on my...
