Hello Gunther,
I was visiting your excellent site and I noticed a new section had been added called Foul List. I was intrigued and sought to enter but received an error message. Exactly what is going on behind the scenes?

Sorry if you answered this before - in which case a gentle pointer would be appreciated - but what are the statistics for your Thinker books? I am searching for a book that I can use with all my Winboard and UCI only engines that have no opening books under the Winboard gui.
Any information as to the elos of the players, timecontrol of the games etc. would go a long way towards helping me to select one. Incidentally I have already downloaded them all - including the experimental book.
Thanks.
Later.

Hi Roger,
Since last Class D (I hope I remember correctly) I have added a foul list
to each running class. It contains all vital bugs which happen(ed)
during a class. (Time losses, crashes, wrong claims, illegal moves)
I thought it would be a good idea to have those concentrated on an
extra page.
You will find an example for last Class D here:
http://home.t-online.de/home/g.simon.rgbg/foul_dc4.htm
For current Class B it is not yet created, sorry. (will be updated tonight)
(So far one time loss by Beowulf 2.3b6 and in round 3 even a crash! by Knightdreamer 3.3)
Well, I have no stats so far but perhaps I should create some soon
Meanwhile I dont call it experimental anymore but BigBook and I think
it did fairly good for Fruit so far.
For the others I always used my so called MainBook, except if programs
meet which both use a ThinkerBook by me. In that case I always use a
small one to avoid very long unbalanced lines.
If you have downloaded the Experimental (=BigBook now) since a longer while
you should reload it again if it has around 5MB or more, because the newer
and improved one is around 2 - 2.5MB
Best wishes,
Günther

Interesting. A one stop page for all the bug reports. The authors should appreciate that.


Looking forward to that...


Mainbook is the one set at 30 plies. I may use this one....

If you have downloaded the Experimental (=BigBook now) since a longer while

Done.
Thanks.
Later.
