Re: Match Deep Hiarcs 15.2 vs Deep Hiarcs 15.3
The tests showed about +3 Elo. under strictly defined conditions, which must be the same for both engines . A key element of testing to achieve some meaningful results and information between two engines is to ensure both engines play the same opening with both colours. At least then if differing r...

The solution was copying and pasting the book from the folder for the first account into the folder for the second account. It seems to be working now. :) Thanks for posting your findings. Hopefully that will help anyone else experiencing the same issue. It makes sense because each log in account a...

Re: Always playing the same moves
I am having a similar issue. No matter how I configure the engine, it always plays the Reti as white and Alekhine's defense against 1.e4 as black. I set the engine to play at 1800, and it fell into the same opening trap in Alekhine's defense four times in a row. I've tried setting the book mode to ...

There is an iPad version with details found here. http://dbrg.com/TuringsMachine.html Unfortunately I could not get it to replicate Peter's game moves. Regards Bryan Chessbase people had exactly the same problem when trying to reproduce moves from earlier references. Just picked up on this article ...

Hello PeterG, I would like to show you the whole sequence of perfect moves to get into this position and even to the checkmate. If you will analyse these moves with Stockfish 8 or Komodo, then you will see that Stockfish and Komodo absolutely have no understanding of this position. Their evalution ...

Hi Greg, Thanx for the link! I wished they published his programming code. We could save it as the very first chess program ever. Best regards, Paul Chessbase published and offered for download their version of the Turing engine back in 2006. It worked and may be of some use for youngsters learning...

Re: Hiarcs vs 400 years old chess puzzle
Hiarcs and Shredder engines are able to solve many chess puzzles, even if tablebases are turned off. Look at this position: r7/8/8/5bk1/8/5B2/5RPP/6K1 b - - 0 1 It is very interesting position. Many engines like Komodo 11.2.1 and Stockfish 8 cannot solve this position at all. They shows massive adv...

In the 1980's and 1990's, the strength of the available dedicated chess computers fell within the range from beginner to FM with top end 1990's machines perhaps hitting the bottom end of IM strength. Consequently there were sufficient recorded games against players within these strength bands when t...

A good tournament result and it would seem to me a good time to make a commercial release of the tournament engine with perhaps a dangling of the carrot bonus of a subsequent update if the tournament engine is not exactly as Mark would wish it to be. Time is marching on and it is already five years ...

Re: Tactics in HCE
In Hiarcs Chess Explorer, is there any special setup for creating a tactics database such as the one that comes with the program? How does one hide the moves? If I imported another tactics database would it work automatically? Thanks in advance. You can use the menu option "View \ Hide next mo...

All I'm simply saying is the Komodo book isn't as strong as one might expect from an engine which (in some cases) is hundreds of elo above its rivals. Wasn't the consensus of opinion that Komodo should try and get out of established book lines as soon as possible to enable its superior knowledge to...
