Glaurung needs your help!

[Tord Romstad]

Hi all,

I have a new development version of Glaurung which I would like to see tested. Is there anyone who is willing to help?

I would be particularly interested in finding someone who also has some basic programming knowledge. The main addition compared to Glaurung 2.0.1 is king safety evaluation. The king safety evaluation is quite complex, and there's an awful lot of parameters to tune, far too many to make them all available as UCI parameters. It would therefore be nice to find someone who can modify the source code (I'll give advice about what to change, of course), compile, and run tests and experiments.

Of course, non-programmer testers would also be very welcome. Just knowing whether this version is stronger than 2.0.1 would be very interesting.

At the moment, I only have binaries for Linux and Mac OS X, but I expect to have 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries some time soon.

If anyone is interested, please drop me an e-mail, or send me a personal message on this board.

I guess H.G.Muller or Dann Corbit is the proper guys!.

By the way is there any further latest development in StockFish1.2 and Glaurung2.2?

Hello!

The post you replied to was nine months old, and no longer very relevant. The only kind of help Glaurung will need in the near future is beta testing of the iPhone version.

By the way is there any further latest development in StockFish1.2 and Glaurung2.2?

I can't tell you anything about Stockfish, but the Glaurung engine is not currently in development. Even version 2.2 is actually more than half a year old -- I released it in December only because I accidentally discovered that it appeared to be a bit stronger than I thought.

Please be mindful of your posts.

It is not good form to be bumping up posts which are over six months old.

Thanks.
