Subject: Re: Modified Crafty v17.14 is available ...(sorry for the delay)

Author: Mike Byrne

Go up one level in this thread


I did some fine tuning of the discovery I made last night in this concept of
"booster extensions" - this version of Crafty "sees' many difficult problems
very fast and without unduly exploding the tree with meaningless less extensions

the standard Crafty "bench mark" is just around 60M nodes (type "bench" at the
command prompt) -- I have received your emails - but I will not be able to see
this version out until tommorrow -  attached are a short set of problems so that
you can compare to your crafty . This "test" position especially please me - try
it on your program

[D]2k5/215/3pr2p/5Qp1/8/6P1/3pqP1P/R5K1 w - - bm Ra8 id "CCC"

Mate in 13 - modified crafty sees the mate in 98 seconds on my dual 1.7 Ghz Xeon
