It surprises me that they don't participate in programs that are significantly stronger than Hiarcs and there are not a few of them. RofChade 3.0 is one of them though, it's a very strong program, congratulations.

Re: 58th CSVN programmers tournament - Hiarcs Wins
It was an open tournament played over the board with the machines operated by each programming team. The CSVN computer tournaments are the longest running computer chess tournaments in existence with this being the 58th. If memory serves me they were running in the 1980s.
These tournaments are different to matches played from set positions, the games begin from the standard opening position and so preparation and book play are important decisions just like in human chess.
The cross table and the games played by our new engine can be seen and played through here: https://www.hiarcs.com/games/csvn58/csvn58.html
Many thanks to Harvey Williamson who went to The Netherlands and operated HIARCS throughout the tournament.

It was the Hiarcs book with a small book on top to choose the 1st few moves.
Re: 58th CSVN programmers tournament 2022 - Hiarcs Wins
Why was 1. b3 played in some games? In my Hiarcs book, b3 is not a recommended move.

Is it possible to make this book available for testing the engine Deep Hiarcs 15.3.1 ?Harvey Williamson wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:52 pm It was the Hiarcs book with a small book on top to choose the 1st few moves.
