New SMIRF version MS-175w for project supporters

[Reinhard Scharnagl]

Those people, who have supported the SMIRF project e.g. by donations and thus are owning a private key set, could write me an email for to get the latest bonus version of the SMIRF engine. Write at ReScharn *AT* gmx *DOT* net.

Because this time nobody is supporting SMIRF by donations, there no longer a public download chance exits. Despite of this the current SMIRF GUI now is able to run also at Wine or Crossover. Its engine's development is going on very slowly. Now a stronger SMIRF version MS-175w is about to be built.

For to download the bonus engine for supporters see at the bottom of the page: http://www.chessbox.de/Octopus/C.Schach/Eintrage/2009/12/29_10x8-Schachprogramm_SMIRF_in_einem_internationalen_Turnier.html

How to prepare SMIRF for to run with H.G. Muller's Smirfoglot.exe:

First you have to get a SMIRF-GUI with a SMIRF-engine running.

If you are a supporter, you will own a private key set, which
only enables you to run any bonus version within SMIRF's
installation folder. When those keys have been inserted and the
SMIRF-GUI had run once, then a matching actual smirfgui.ini
file will have been created (probably in the installation folder).

(As from when that ini file exists, the SMIRF bonus engine might
be exchanged if need be by another copy of any new bonus
version, because that private key set will still be supported.)

Then that engine dll could be used from outside via H.G. Muller's
Winboard_F, Smirfoglot.exe and its ini file. This all is, because
SMIRF does not know about the existence of any Smirfoglot adapter.

Best regards and a happy new year !

Now there is an improved bonus engine version MS-175x.

Again SMIRF has been improved. Moreover during the first four half-moves of a game SMIRF will overlay randomizing values, what will prevent too frequent repeating of games from a given starting array. Thus supporters try the new SMIRF bonus engine MS-176a ... MS-176b !
