I gave the Fritz programs their >>own book and similiar memory. If you use Yace, I think, it would be fair to use some non-standard memory size for hash tables. With long time control, the largest size, that does not yield in swapping, should be best. Many engines allow powers of 2 for this size, while Yace has no restriction. I often see, that people give Yace the same size, that the opponent allows, just because the next factor of 2 would be too much. Other than the hash size, and the path to TBs, the defaults of Yace can be kept. >Fritz 7 won by 6-4 and Fritz 6 tied Crafty by >>6-6. I don't believe Yace can measure up but would like to give it a chance. >>I'm interested in suggestions for Yace GUI/Book.

The only difference to the Shredder interface should be, that book learning works. >I for one would be interested in knowing how Yace performs with the Necchi book >under match conditions, because that may be a viable testing platform for the >SSDF when, or rather if, they decide to test Yace. I would find it interesting too, to see how Yace performs with the Necchi book. However, if Yace should get the honor to compete in SSDF, I would prefer a freely available book. The participation in the SSDF-list was discussed for an amateur program. I think a commercial book, does not fit in, then. Regards, Dieter
