I had the opportunity to run some tests on an AMD Opteron machine, and benchmarked Deep Sjeng on it, compared to the AMD Athlon XP, and compared to the Intel Pentium 4. The Opteron is 205% faster than the Intel P4, clock for clock. The Opteron is 70% faster than the Athlon XP, clock for clock. It runs Deep Sjeng faster than a (nonexisting) 3.3Ghz Pentium 4 would. An 1.6Ghz Opteron runs Deep...

Hi! I am preparing to compile crafty on an Opteron AMD board. Could anyone suggest which OS I could use? I have W2K,XP,Linux RH9. I have the MSVC++ or I could use gcc for Linux. Is there any significant difference between which compiler I should use to obtain max performance? Also, if I use MSVC++ or gcc which package should I use that would best support the 64 bit processor? Can I force...

I replied 2084 and he, not looking very happy, asked why I didn't write it down in front of the board next to my name. I replied that no one asked me too and that the Belzberg people knew my rating and only today OK my playing since I am a client. He then stated that if he had...

From: "Muggs" Date: 06/08/03 03:20 GMT Daylight Time Message-id: Hello All, I'm completely new to chessbase light, and I was wondering how I can analyze a complete game in CB light. If this is the wrong NG please advise.

After downloading the teaser version of ChessWorkbook's software, I decided to pay the $29 for the regular version. It's a great concept. Going over Albert's exercises and playing the positions out against Crafty. The problem is that in order to activate the download, you need to insert the 64 digit(!!) alphanumeric serial number. The number apparently cannot be loaded by hand (at least after...

So the goal is to train the number 1 neural net to become an expert at making the first move, the number 2 to become the best at the first response, ...etc I don't know a lot, but in my opinion this won't work; well it might, but not the way you want. After a few plies the games become so different that a ply based network would have to be as general as one that simply plays from the...

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the notation style used by Fritz8? I prefer the shorter algebraic style.

Ah, yes. I remember the logic of why the analysis starts at the end of the game: The computer knows your last move and the question is: was it a good move? Having solved that problem it moves back one-half move and analyzes that position and compares its best move to the move made. And so it goes, moving back one-half move at a time. CA71 lets you set the depth of the analysis, any where from a...

Dear Chessfans, I've recently been getting into playing chess at playchess.com, and I can't figure out how to get the opening book working. What i'm doing at the moment, is opening up a game from the Games tab, and selecting the Openings Book tab on the new screen. It has one button on it, Load Book. (it looks for *.ctg files when i click on it) But I can't find a file that it likes anywhere....

I may have asked this before but is the Portable touch sensory Novag sapphire star II available to buy? I thought it was but it doesn't seem to reviewed on Eric's site or listed on Novag's own website.

I apologise if this question has been asked before. I've got CB8 + Bookup Pro + Blitzin. Apart from search speed which I've picked up from a few reviews and ICC support, what can CA7 do that can't be accomplished by the other software I've got? The reason I ask is that I've been testing CA6 Light from convekta's website and I love the interface. I'm considering selling the CB software and...

which is the best of the two? i have played chessmaster 6k 8k and 9k but not played fritz.

I don't get it. Why have been decided to play with Fritz since it has been outranked by Shredder 7.04 (in SSDF list) and it seems it will be outranked by Junior 8 too? Even if the Morsch team intend to come up with Fritz 9 or something the Chess Base team would not know how the program will perform compared to others.
