HIARCS Chess Forums

I am looking for chess sources in functional languages. The only one I found yet is small chess program in PicoLisp package. Are there any other open-source chess implementations in Lisp, Scheme, ML, maybe Haskell? There's GNU Chess integration with Emacs, so there's definitely elisp bits in there ...

Seconded! I'd suggest Shift+Command+S (or Shift+Ctrl+S for the PC users) if it's not taken by some other function ... oh balls, it is ... alright, maybe Alt+Command/Ctrl+S then.

Brilliant suggestion that one, Alpengreis.

If you have Hiarcs Chess Explorer:

Is that just a gzipped copy of Mark Crowther's complete file (not the live one from his site)?

Personally I think OS X should be treated much like the LibreOffice recommendations. That being, it stability and the like are important, don't update until at least the second or third minor version (i.e. OS X 10.10.2 or 10.10.3). Anything prior to that is just asking for trouble.

I don't mind the behaviour of starting with an empty database (although an option to specify a particular database as one to always start with would be a nice addition), but quite often I find myself firing up HCE to input an idea or position, do some analysis, and then want to save it - but not in...

It turns out that I don't need to make any changes to test that modified version of Stockfish. If the number of pieces on the board meets the configuration (i.e. 6 or less) and Stockfish is analysing the positions it will also report the number of tablebase hits per second checked after the number o...

7) HCE uses online Nalimov tablebases I've got, I think it's 5-man loaded locally as well (whichever count it is that comes to around 7 or 8 Gb and including all the pawns). I did it for the same reason as opting for the downloads as well as the subscription and that is that Internet connectivity a...

HIARCS Chess Explorer does not actually create a new database when it launches, it just provides a tab so new games and positions can be entered. Okay so this is what I wish it wouldn't do. From a UI standpoint, the new tab looks like a new untiled empty document (ie a database). It looks a lot lik...

Unfortunately that sample code there didn't compile for me, ... I admit I did not test it. This one compiles for me on Linux with gcc. (It is C, not C++). I get a warning on get_current_dir_name(), though, like I did not #include the right header to declare it. The manual says it should be in unist...

If you would let your wrapper read the string it feeds to system() from a file with a fixed name (say wrapper.ini) in the current directory, people could use it without comiling anything. They would only have to prepare an ini file with the wine command in it. Of course you could have the wrapper a...

Hasimir : hope your tournament match went well. Have you gotten a chance to visit recently? We've made some changes over the past few weeks: www.funnode.com/news#changelog When I haven't been playing I've been very busy, but I'll try to stop by when I've got a chance. As for the tournament, I playe...

This issue was introduced in the Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks update. HCE is unaffected on previous Mac OS versions. Apple are aware of wake from sleep issues with 10.9 which were meant to be resolved in the 10.9.4 update. Some customers have reported this update resolved the issue but a couple of HCE cus...

You should learn spanish, a very near latin language. Same fastdious precision Well, I am aided with the Latin with William Whitaker's Words program (ported to OS X Lion and above as Interpres), but the University of Notre Dame has a web interface for it. Essentially Latin-English and English-Latin...

Hope your baby will be OK War is a nuisance, to say it soft. But, of course, a nation that is not prepared to wage war is doomed sooner or later. Even peaceful Switzerland is armed to the teeth. We are here. You know: si vis pacem, para bellum Fern Oh, he's fine, his last tour before the decision t...
