Hi bnc1,
Thank you for your reply to my inquiry.

Chessbase GUI 12 update 23 (Aug 12,2011) has moved the alternate colors option and the number of games option from the main engine vs. engine setup dialog to the database section for engine matches. Perhaps this change has led you to the false conclusion that engine vs engine matches no longer work...

Chessbase has decided to make a dramatic change to its GUI for its programs. Apparently programmers were tired of having the GUI not work when they were using it for chess engine matches, (or they were tired of getting complaints from owners of the programs they sell regarding the GUI crashing or no...

I just had these two programs play a regular- time- control game on my quad core computer. These are my computer's specs: Hewlett Packard quad core HP System Model m9510f computer.

Your welcome Harvey.
Sure I can, do you want them in one PGN file?

I played the last game of the match today, the result of the game was a draw in 193 moves!! The opening was the Caro-Kann Defense:classical variation. Here are the moves from the 50th game: In Chessbase format: ------------------------ [Event "120m/40+60m/20+30m, 120m/40+60m/20+30m"] [Site...

Hiarcs has won the 49th game of this match, which I had the two programs play today. The game ended after 66 moves when Deep Sjeng WC 2008x64 resigned the game. According to endgame tablebases a forced checkmate (in 14) would have occurred to the Deep Sjeng program if it had not resigned first. The ...

Thanks Harvey, I am glad you found the match interesting, it was fun to watch the two programs play. I followed many of the games move-by- move on a regular board with pieces.Yes chess programs sure play blitz chess well, and they of course have made great strides in regular time control games due t...

<Dark> <PostPosted> <HIARCS> Yes, Deep Sjeng apparently was created for blitz chess not regular time controls. This program can analyze positions deeply however, it rarely uses much time for any move in a regular time control game,which of course is a serious drawback against a program like Hiarcs 1...
