I once ask Alain if he had developed a driver for palm so it can be conected to citrine and the palm can be used as an external device, is something similar as if it was a plug-in module. pgeorges, do you know if it is a driver for palm or pocket pc that can be connected this way? plug-in modules f...

Citrine's strength can be greatly enhanced by using an external program (I know this is a kind of cheating :wink: ) For example I connect it to a Pocket PC via a Bluetooth adapter and the result is still a dedicated computer (right ?) with a strength of at least 2500 ELO (if not over 2600). This is ...

You can play on Internet (FICS only) with pocket Scid

Hi I also had requests to port Strelka to Scid Pocket, and if I release it one day it will be after Rybka's team approval (I don't know if I'd need others authorisation). Anyway I ported it to Pocket PC today for my own use and it does not seem to be a good engine at all (3 games lost against Toga 1...

Merci Alain, mais tu veux dire que Novag ne fournit pas le cable RJ11 / DB9 ?

Si c'est le cas, je les trouve un peu lourds chez Novag : non seulement ils ne sont pas en USB mais leurs connecteurs sont un rien pénibles.

Cordialement

J'ai commandé le Citrine ... Alain, peux-tu me dire quelle est la connectique côté Citrine (afin que je puisse acheter le matériel nécessaire) ?
Est-ce une prise DB9 femelle sur le Citrine ?

Pascal

Merci Alain pour les infos.

Je vais commander le Citrine chez Niggemann.

L'enchère vient de se terminer et je ne l'ai pas eu :cry: Je pense me rabattre sur un Novag Citrine avec l'idée de le connecter en Bluetooth sur un PDA. http://www.amazon.fr/Adaptateur-S%C3%A9rie-Bluetooth-Classe-100m/dp/B000CPMBO6/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1198425054&sr=1-23...

Note that this is Scid Pocket (http://prolinux.free.fr/scid/PPC.html), but given the problems you got and its requirements (it eats up tons of memory), you may wish to first try CEBoard.

Merci Alain pour les infos. En ce qui concerne les modules, il est vrai qu'ils doivent être rares ... Mon but est de pouvoir connecter le Galileo à un PC pour l'utiliser comme un échiquier DGT, et si possible de le raccorder en Bluetooth avec un adaptateur série/bluetooth pour jouer contre mon PDA. ...

Bonjour, A la recherche d'un jeu en bois, je vois sur ebay : http://cgi.ebay.fr/gros-jeu-dechec-electronique-Galileo-Kasparov_W0QQitemZ230205115189QQihZ013QQcategoryZ92094QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem D'après ce que j'en vois sur http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Saitek_Galileo ...

Note that since then I ported Fruit 2.3.1, which seems to be the best engine even if Glaurung is close to it.

Toga II 1.3.4 takes about 30 seconds to find Qg8 on my Pocket PC (624 MHz CPU), with 33000 nps.

Will the new version of Hiarcs when released for the PPC be able to use more ram than 8Mb.As I currently can run Pocket Grandmaster on my iPaq hx2750 and have allotted 32Mb for hash where as when I run Hiarcs on my hx4700 with StyleTap I can only get a max of 2Mb. Also is the development on track s...

I am also looking forward to your feedback.

But I don't understand what's going on with Novag : the Citrine is supposed to be out of sell and not relaunched before 2008 (this is what chess equipement sellers told me in Paris).
