Hi! I'm planning to add transposition tables holding the usual values, bounds and computed depth information of a position into my simple chess program. As I use a simple search extension concerning checks (adding 1 ply when a check occurs), I have a problem to understand how the depth information in the TT could be used in such a case. If I encounter a position where the hashprobe succeeds and...

Odd -- I haven't seen a security advisory for computer chess programs before, but someone seems to have taken the trouble to go through Crafty 19.3 carefully. It doesn't appear to be a very critical problem, though, unless someone runs Crafty with suid/sgid bits (or equivalent) set. See: http://www.secunia.com/advisories/9577/ for whatever info there is out right now.

I came across this game at a local used computer dealer. It is dated 1994, and comes on CD. The back of the package mentions BOOKUP. Anyone still have this laying around? Any opinions on it? I did not purchase it (yet). I've got Fritz 8 and CM7000/5500, as well as a bunch of freeware engines, so I suspect a nearly 10-year old chess engine won't compare favourably, but was wondering if anyone...

Is it possible to switch off startup screen in Fritz where I have to choose between playing with Fritz and playing on playchess.com? -- Darko Majdiæ

What does this module parameter mean ? Regards. Brice Allenbrand

In the article http://www.chessbaseusa.com/T-NOTES/011401.htm I have now red that : "Roycroft was also one of the inventors of a special form of chess notation, called the Roycroft-Guy-Blandford Code (or RGB Code, for short). This code is used automatically in ChessBase 8 whenever you enter a board position and save it into a database. If you don't enter a name for the Black player, a bunch of...

Is there a possibility to view taken pieces in Fritz 8? -- Darko Majdiæ

Hi, a brief question: how long will Fritz8 think when playing in friend mode? To me, it would be logical that the program thinks as long as required in order to make a move on my handicap level. However, it seems to me, that the LAST setting before switching to friend mode is taken - it makes a difference if I had "long game" before or "Blitz game". Is the quality of the moves different if the...

Why would the CPU usage always show 100% when playing against or analyzing with H8? I have set the hashtables down to 65MB (so as to play blitz), but it runs 100% all the time. The hard drive makes alot of noise during it's usage-- soon as I close it, the HD quietens back down to normal. Strange.

I downloaded the .pgn file of Reinfeld's 1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate from U Pitt with the idea of copying it to my PocketPC and working on the problems with CEBoard.. The .pgn file copied okay, and there are 1001 games (or positions, I guess) listed, but whenever I click on one I get an "Unable to load game" error, with a big red x saying "incorrect pgn header." Is it possible to correct...

From the NY Times tech section today. I wonder whether there will be a 64 bit chess playing program soon--with 64 squares, you can have one bit per square and really do some fast assembly language type programming. RL "But beyond the predictable costs and performance benefits, if 64-bit computing follows the PC's historical patterns, this migration may bring a surprise or two.

I'd appreciate any opinions about the program Chess Genius. Thanks.

The chessbase site states that a graphics accelerator is necessary to view the 3D board in Fritz 8. Is it really needed? I have a Pentium 4. Thanks.

I have Hiarcs 8, Fritz 8, and Shredder7 and I'm wondering if there is anything radically different in Junior 8 that would justify buying it. Comments on these programs welcomed.
