Uri, >Do you plan to improve the strength of the program in the first version in C or >only to translate your code to C? Yes. I've been extremely busy over the past year (moved to USA, new job, new daughter, new home ....) so haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I would like to chess programming. I've quite a few idea that look promising from initial tests for Monarch - also I'd like to incorporate and play around with some of the idea presented on Ed's site. My thinking regarding the rewrite is that Delphi will probably go .NET, which is great, but probably not an indication that they will improve the win32 compiler in the near future. So I thought I'd take the plunge and learn 'C'. Bloodshed looks like a really great IDE for GCC although I may use VC6. >Do you plan to fix the bugs of Monarch?(Monarch was thrown out of WBEC because >of these bugs and there are cases when the program crush at long time control). Not sure - we'll see. I have a completely re-written version of the interface but this only supports UCI so I'm not sure who'd be interested. Anyway Delphi is my first love when it come to programming and I may write an open-source simple program that can help people get going. >I remember that you said that monarch is 200 elo better than faile but it seems >that it is only the case for blitz and in Leo's tournament(40/40) >Faile scored 24/46 when Monarch scored only 22.5/46(I guess that part of the >problem is bad moves because of unstability but it is only a guess and I did >not analyze the games) The 200 ELO above was probably based on Monarch slaughtering Faile at blitz Regards, Steve
