throttled down to 1% speed. ...how do you throttle the µP speed, with Arena or another software? Hello Michael, unfortunately, Arena doesn't offer this feature. I use a program with the strange name "Battle Encoder Shirase" instead. It allows me to throttle a chess engine down to 1%. I wo...

Next Game against mm5. It seems the manual is WRONG. Millennium genius is not playing 20/20 in the second time control but 20 in 60. So typo in manual. Well it is not so bad then :) Only thing left to nail down is its true strength. That's wearing me out. At first I was resigned and accepting of th...

It might be funny that the only DCC who ever got his knight in the corner was Spracklen's one: [Event "30min / game"] [Date "2014.07.03"] [White "Ivan"] [Black "FD2265"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B02"] [PlyCount "65"] 1. e4 Nf6 2. Nc3...

No matter how much outsearched a Spracklen program is, a PIN is mostly a short range affair, not something that reveals its nature at ply 12. So, YES, I sustain my thesis I have seen happening in many games with situation not beyond the search tree of the program. Of course it could happens that th...

... it looks like there is something in Spracklen code that make his programs prone to fall in exactly the same carelessness attitude with pins.
