Go up one level in this thread


Madhavan....

You manifestly fail to see the point.

The point is this......

The GUI is telling the rules to the engine.

All the amateur programmers here must agree that this a very BIG unfair
advantage in any competition.

WCCC 2005 included.

If all amateur programmers were able to make there engines WITHOUT regard to the
rules as happens here then their code would be both smaller, faster and
therefore be able to calculate on other BETTER things rather than the validity
of a position.

As it stands this is not fair to them.

FULL STOP.

Analysis by Junior 8:

1. = (0.12): 1.Nf6 Nc6 2.Nf1 Ne5 3.Ne3 Nc4 4.Nf5 Nc3 5.Rh7 Ra2 6.Nd4 Ra7
2. = (0.12): 1.Nf1 Nc6
3. = (0.05): 1.Nf8 Nc6 2.Nf3 Ne7
4. = (0.05): 1.Nf3 Nc6

I would like to here from all programmers NOT people with a vested interest in
commerce.
