Congrats!!!!!!!
great job :)
as i stated earlier. is there any way to run crafty on winboard in one computer,
and fritz under its GUI in another? your answer was no (or you are not sure). I
would like to know if anyone else has tried such thing? or if anyone else can
give me more info regardng why it is not possible?? in other words (to make it
simple) i would like to know if there is a way to autoplay games between
winboard and fritz gui.
I am interested in this because as we all know that crafty is running under
fritz interface in SSDF tests. but as chessfun said before that she doesnt see
any differance since the programs plays the same moves, in a given amount of
time, in both the interfaces. BUT in fritz interface it does not allow crafty to
creat a normal learning file (like position.lrn and book.lrn)and i believe it
makes a lot_of_differances. and also (as chessfun agreed) that crafty cannot use
its ussual opening book ;9. So it can be said that crafty is not running in its
"normal" environment. thus making it unsuitable to play test mathches of such
importance (like in SSDF and the one chessfun is playing). though i know
chessfun i not using opening book for her test. I am not saying that crafty
"should not" perform under these conditions as far as "tests" are concerned. all
i am saying that there should be an alternative to this.
thanks for your comments
pavel ;)
