I have released version 1.62 of kingsrow, both hub and UI versions, and a Distance to Win db. When the game position is a win or a loss and in the DTW db, kingsrow will display search results like "white wins in 89 ply". Using it allows kingsrow to play the shortest path to a win. Except for minor ...

Hi Ed Can we know what's the maximal depth of your book, and if it's generated by self-play or there's a special engine dedicated for it. I hink that, as Kryztof mentionned it, after the end of a book, each program has his own eval ,and will play with his "own" strenght. A opening book can it contai...

Hi all I sent the update to ED, Bert, Jan and Luzimar( a brazilian friend that share many many thing with me, very kind and opened person like everybody on this community), contain Kingsrow, Scan, Maximus and a few Damage.Damage don't manage correctly the time on dxp mode on my computer, i don't kno...

Hi everybody, I'm really sorry, though, what originally, as I have meant more than once was just for fun. Again if Ed, who more than once enlightened me in secret on certain points of Kingsrow or allowed to carry out experiments to run Kingsrow on Android. First of all, I would like to clarify one t...

If all go well, i will post/send the Maximus/Damage file before 0:00 GMT

I know that in Chess opening books play an important role, I have (indeed) no evidence yet that this also applies to Computer Draughts. On the other hand I see that Damage struggles with specific openings (in the 2 - move ballot). As an example the 1st 2-move ballot with Damage as black to move, wh...

Out of curiosity Damage (recent version, not yet posted), played a 158 games match (2-ballot move) against Flits (not the Hub version which I do not have), with the flits-dxp-server and the new openings book. Conditions 1 core each (so did not use the multi-core option of Damage), 1 min / 75 moves,...

The point is to play only from the initial position and not to use ballots. Then to compare the results against Flits-book with the results against Flits+book. But really this applies only to Kingsrow and Scan at the moment. Exactly, and i will do the 2 moves ballots soon, before i wil release befo...

I want to ask, i suppose that you have Flits, if it's the case, please, whitout the 2 moves or 3 ballots dxp system, in regular game, in 10 games what's the draw rate of Flits on your computer? It is pointless to speak of the draw rate in 10 games as the number of games is far too low. I played a q...

You can find my email address in the Damage GUI, but here it is berttuyt@outlook.com Bert Hi Bert i sent a mail to Ed, Jan Jaap and you icluding the file. As mentionned; there's no any intention behind this work, just for fun. I am waiting for your tests ie Ed, Jaap and you. Friendly, Sidiki.

In all honesty, I'm totally not aware of a self-learning option in Flits, nor do I believe that Flits would be capable in a draw rate of 99.99% against the most recent versions of Scan and Kingsrow. This value implies at most 1 loss in a 3.move ballot. My very short summary, totally impossible! So ...
