Re: Al (Scally) Cooper RIP
Very sorry to get this news. Al got me started with Picochess and the DGT Pi..I just played a Pico game...and thought of him. I was about to email him, to see how he was doing, but did an internet search and found this out.....Very sad. When Al would compile new engines for the Pi, I would evaluate ...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Rare-Fidelity-Sensory-Computer-Chess-Challenger-12-B-6086-VERY-CLEAN-Tested/203173337059?_trkparms=aid%3 In case you are thinking of bidding, there are a couple of problems. Non matching serial numbers between the box and the game. Curiously they are consecutive numbers...

Weiss 1.2 Normal vs CM9000. Weiss (4 cores Normal, White pieces) calculates a very good draw after being hamstrung with the Polish Opening. After Weiss move 48. Re1, SF eval on iPad claims Black has a -3 lead. 32 moves later, I called it after 90.Kh5 Kf2 and SF eval, still, claims Black has a -3 lea...

RubiChess NNUE 1.9-dev update (Brain) vs CM9000. I forced a repeat of the previous CM/RubiNNUE opening (Oct. 8, Bird's Spanish) to make an apples to apples comparison to see what this updated Rubi looks like (Previous Rubi won that one). Here, updated Rubi varied early, with calculation 7. .. Bg7! w...

Got some time, one more: Demolito 2020-10-10-dev Brain 4 cores vs CM9000. Drawn. I may have to rethink my CM9000 on PC, Elo rating...which I peg in the 2600-2700 range. In the below game, CM9000 not only goes toe to toe with Demolito, but actually has a consistent 2 pawn lead after Demo 20. Qb2? Dem...

Combusken 1.3.1 Normal Combusken update is FF on the Pi...and does win over CM9000, but I've seen Combu calculate better (see 9/2/20 post, a page back). The Anderssen (1. a3?) and short story: CM9000 has a draw for pretty much 36 moves. In fact, after Combu 21. exd4? (Nd4 or Ng5), CM has a very dece...

Beef 0.3.6 Previously.... Beef had a very long game, but eventually won against CM9000. Same drill, but Beef is White. The Exotic Book responds with the Alapin-Diemer Gambit in response to CM playing a rare French....fun stuff, something different. A draw. It took Beef just about 40 moves to equaliz...
