I was able to generate all endgame database files from 2 up to 5 pieces. However, there are several 6-pieces files pending to be fully generated.

A huge and heartfelt request to Gijsbert Wiesenekker. Please contact me by email. Thank you in advance.

I don't know if Mr. Gijsbert Wiesenekker is still active in the draughts community, but his last public available GWD 4.0.1.51 version (from 30-Jan-2010) can be download here: GWD

It is possible to run it using the DOSBox

Hi,

I guess Windames 3D is an evolution of QUIDAM, anyway, you can download from a Web Archive snapshot: QUIDAM

Hi,

Unfortunately, two months ago, Mr. Krijn Van Drie, the Boase program's author and also an international draughts player passed away.

Hi Krzysztof Grzelak, I guess your proposed program settings for DREAM and Cerberus are not optimal. DREAM : Ponder : It can be enabled in the menu option: " Configuration - Configuration du moteur - Réflexion sus temps adverse " Hash table size : It could be changed at least to 8192 KB to be more e...

Can you write about exactly what it is Sidiki. I think that all it's clear, all the programmers understood what i wrote. You can't help me unfortunately. However if you don't understood, the main idea it's how to run a dxp from our own FEN. Because each engine, i am talking to Kingsrow, Dragon, Fli...

There are a lot of techniques, most of them non-trivial and based on reverse-engineering tasks and move pattern similarity deep analysis.

Just for historical reference occurred on chess community: Rybka plagiarism case

Hi Krzysztof, Congrats for your great initiative. 1- Which was the hash table size used for Flits? 2- I guess would be useful try to create a shared opening book for all engines or at least think about disable it. After switching off the ends of the base due to an error, this option is irrelevant. ...

Hi Flits users,

I'd like share with draughts community a resource to translate the Flits 3.02 from Dutch to English.
The procedure and the translation resource file is into attachment.

Please feel free to comment or contribute

I have a question about Flits 3.02. Whether if I have an included base of ends in the program it or the option Transpositietable (Mb) , whether the option should not be disabled. Hi Krzysztof, the Transpositietable or Hash table and endgame database have different functions, the first one is used f...

It's been a few years since I tried to use Flits or the Flits DXP server. Someone asked me for help running an engine match with it, so I started it up to refresh my memory on how it works. I noticed that Flits is now making a Windows sound whenever a command is entered in the "Uw zet" window. I ca...
