HIARCS Chess Forums

Thanks Eelco, I have had the engine for about 3 weeks. I think it is a similar playing strength with some new features and fixes. The nicest is that it now auto detects the number of threads. Nice to see you here don't wait until next time CCC crashes :-) Best Wishes, Harvey It is the version that ...

Hi like to know, if it is possible, that the the chess community help me to show to the weak points and the strongpoints of the main chess programs (or the program that you know more about), it would be Fritz10, Toga, Hiarcs, Junior , of course Rybka, Chess Tiger, Fruit, Zappa, Shredder... it 's cle...

Hi " :shock: Heli informed me, that Zappa and Naum are better" It will a Heart break for Rybka fan´s :wink: I wonder how many time will happen before the other chess programmers (Mark, Amir, Frans etc) catch Rybka? I think the Rybka secret is now partially solved. If it is true ( I mean th...

Hi Dr. Doctor as you surely know, although since you has said previously that you don´t like chess and don´t pay attention to it, from end of year 2005 to today many people thinks that Rybka, that this in its version 2.3.à and that it has elo of 3100 in 4 processors can beat Hydra. Could you give us...

Yes it lost games, but first: who know wich version were play on playchess?, I mean if it was Hydra Chimera ( i think it was the version in 2004) or it was the baby hydra called lizard, and second Hydra played some questionable openings, if I don´t remember bad it was like 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3. f3, a...

Hi Dr. Sorry ,About Chess-Advice-Language Che++) it has been developed by you? i found almost nothing in the web, and I have interest in knowing more of, I do not know why it has not been used by others programmers given its virtues, like you can add knowledge without reducing the speed of search, a...

:D hoooo friend surely your you could lose your money in such a bet, the Hydra lizard could even beat to Rybka 2.3.2a 1 CPU (of course with of course with an aggressive book and reasonable time), after seeing the weak that Rybka can be in certain positions .I assure you that Hydra could devastate th...

Dr. Donninger It would be then possible, if you are disinterested in the development of the Hydra project or other chess proyect, that you free the Hydra(or brutus or nimzo)code for the chess community?, perhaps this could enrich the chess scene, for my Hydra plays amazing chess and it is a pain tha...

Hi Anthony
I hope that this great triumph, which by the way you deserved by your great work with zappa, animates you to continue working in your great program, at the moment I believe that zappa and Hiarcs are those that can catch the fish nice job

By the way ... time ago I read in the Rybka forum that before the match with Adams was a small match between Hydra and Hiarcs 10 ,somebody has record of this match, of course, if it happened some day

I just hope that Hydra can return someday and puts in clear the supremacy about who is the more powerful chess entity of the world, tnx for the information.

Ok I´m going to change the word "invincible" for "unbeatable", so Hydra is 'unbeatable' in a match

Hi , I think, which percentage in a chess game is determined by the tactics?.. small combinations (as capablanca used to say), or Mammoth combinations lik Tal played, I guess more than 60%, the games that are solved with pure strategy are very few compared with which they are solved with tactical re...

Ok, I'm going to start a new topic (the topic about the Dr. Donninger became burning), Terry said that Hydra isn´t Invincible, and for me at least , no human being can beat Hydra, and about the programs... Rybka or Zappa could gain some games, but not a match, I believe that nobody can beat Hydra. Z...

Enrique!! me da gusto saber que logeas aqui, queria preguntarte por que no continuaste organizando tus torneos, el último fue me parece en el 2001. A mi parecer, esos si eran campeonatos mundiales de programas, el formato actual me desepciona, solo son torneos que no definen nada. Es una pena que ya...
