Sany is now posting in sci.bio.paleontology. First of all ... they guys is clearly out of his mind in the post. Second, it is a CLEAR attempt at spreading his URL. Evidence is building a strong case that we may be able to boot the fool from USENET as a SPAMMER! Here is the article he posted: Article posted: Subject: Darwin theory failed to evolve...

How you machine work, when you play SD-levels and you (or computer) time is out? Could you also tell me (if you know) what generation you Citrine are or when you buy it? I ask these information, because some of Citrine models are bug in SD-Level timeout situation. It's a important to know, how other Citrine computer's work.

Chess256 implies that the opening setup for the pawns is chosen randomly while satisfying the condition that the pawns must be placed either on the second or the third rank. The sides mirror each other. Unlike Chess960, this is practically the same as standard chess. I suggest that Chess256 is ideal for matches between chess programs. In this way the opening library plays no role at all. What...

I'm interested in getting a computer game to learn and enjoy the game of chess. I know the basic rules and piece moves, but that's about it. I plan to play alone without internet access. Which PC game would you recommend for me? Thanks! Joel

For those of you willingly helping him out, that is great. But it is my opinion that he is really just posting here and trying to spread his URL around. If any responders to Sanny would mind, could you please remove his URL from your response? At least, if he is after real advice, he can continue to get it, but if he is just after URL proppagation, then that can and should fail. -- Thomas T....

I have the sourcecode (somewhat modified) for an old VAX chess engine originally written in PASCAL and now in Modula2. I have written a UCI binding for it to place it under the ChessBase GUI and in testing I have run into a problem. I cannot persuade the info command to work - what I send back is mostly ignored by the GUI. I have clearly got something wrong but it isn't obvious from the...

Last year there was no new version of Fritz. I was disappointed because that is how I get my yearly subscription to playchess.com. I just learned the Fritz 12 is coming out the week of October 12th. It looks great in green. Here is where I found Fritz 12 new features: http://www.chesscentral.com/Fritz_12_p/fritz-12.htm

My apologies for crossposting this and if it's a trivial question. Many years ago, I had a Mac program which for a given configuration would display all "attacked"/"supported" squares on the chessboard using different color intensities to indicate the "strength" of the attack. For example, using a red color gradation scale from 1 (P) to some high number (39?), the attacked squares would show...

How about a match between Shredder 6 vs Fritz 5 ..

A new release both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version 4.4.0 includes many changes. It is the first major release of xboard/winboard after a fork of the project after version 4.2.7. It includes small changes made in the main line and changes made by a fork of Alessandro Scotti and lots of changes made afterwards by H.G. Muller (released as versions 4.3.x). This release represents...

I've been using Chessmaster 9000 for awhile and am tired of some of the things it does, like tying up my computer CPU if I do something else in the middle of a game. ( some kind of timer bug? ) I hear Fritz is good, but I'm only rated at around 1400. Can it be set for weaker players too, or is it just for experts?

Hi, Scid 4.0 has been released. Main changes are : - use of a new base format, so very long games with plenty of comments and variations are now handled. The user can also use custom flags to mark games. When a si3 base (Scid 3.x format) is opened with this version it is automatically converted to the new format (which takes about 10 sec for a 3 million games database). - many bug fixes -...
