I have published the updating of the my program for the analysis with Monte Carlo method. This version have a chessboard to insert the position.

The program still had a bug. In that rare cases in which pawn promotes in octave, to Bishop, could create a crash. I have updating the program resolving this bug.

Montecarlo Cockroach is a tool for analysis Monte Carlo.
Starting from the position to analyze the program generates hundreds of games to choose the moves in pseudo random way.

Many people that had downloaded the first versions of MCockroach, write to me that the program often produced some crashes. The problem was due to a bug on the castle move. I have written an updating of the program to resolve this problem: MCockroach v.2. In this new version of the program, over to ...

Vas. introduced with Rybka the method Monte Carlo analysis applied to chess. I found the idea interesting, but his tool of analysis, now also incorporated in Fritz, has always seemed me too "rigid", inflexible. Options and changes the parameters of the analysis engine are very few. The res...

I solved it by itself: I don't have to put "\n" in the end. This happens to follow the guide online :x In Shredder page uci protocol, they write: "all command strings the engine receives will end with '\n', also all commands the GUI receives should end with '\n' ". :( If they upd...

In console mode, I can't send the string FEN, (display the position) to Rybka.
I write: position fen 8/5p2/4k1p1/6Rp/3K3P/5rP1/8/8 b - - 0 1\n
But it says (write in console): "info string: invalid fen string".
How do I write the string fen? (Rybka or every other uci engine)

I read that it is possible to generate tablebases, is this a better option than downloading them ? it is better surely downloading them, rather than to produced them. Exclusively for a matter of time. You have to know that to produce the tablebase 5men KRPKRs, I have employed 7/8 h, with a Core2duo...

CUDA is the new programming language for the GPUs NVidia. With it we can write code to use to the best the GPUs. In theory a rising of the performances should be had in the parallel elaboration. This could be a way for "to push" the chess engines. But I have read unfavorable declarations t...

Have you read some new programming language CUDA? It is a language for the new GPUs NVidia. It should increase the computational power of the parallel elaboration. But I have read negative topic on the real utility for the chess engines. But I have some doubts. I would like to experiment. [url]htpp:...
