======================================================= I made this post for you ... but now I have another ? as well. Posted by Nolan Denson <mailto:denson2@cox.net> (Profile <http://www.talkchess.com/forums/profile.html?denson2@cox.net> ) on August 20, 2003 at 11:58:53: In Reply to: continued testing <http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?312063> of new settings for Carfty 19.04 SE posted by Mike Byrne <mailto:mfbyrne_pa@msn.com> on August 20, 2003 at 02:27:59: Hey Mike When using this version via winboard how do I know if I am using SE or ST version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ans. They are both the same - I just use ST for setting engine parameters and SE for personality in the F8 GUI - btw what is your GUI - Winboard? ================================================= Also can you expand a little on the set Beta ... it seems to me I get better play when using the 10000 instead of the -10000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ans I now think this has no impact and the differences you seeing are more random than anything else. ============================================================= Ok second question ... I can't seem to keep your crafty from accepting draws ... could you check to see if this feature is broken ... I have it set to offer nodraw or accept but it still accepts draws. Nolan J Denson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ans I will have to look into it and get back to you -- that should be controlled by the command drawcore ..I suspect you might have the "computer" opponet check which I don't check ...there is code for this "if (computer_opponent) abs_draw_score=0; else if (crafty_rating-opponent_rating < 0) abs_draw_score=+20; --> it may be hiiting this else if (crafty_rating-opponent_rating < 100) abs_draw_score=0; else if (crafty_rating-opponent_rating < 300) abs_draw_score=-20; else if (crafty_rating-opponent_rating < 500) abs_draw_score=-30; else abs_draw_score=-50;" try setting drawscore to "0" after the "computer" and see if that helps .. crafty.rc =============================================== computer drawscore 0 exit ===============================================" Mike
