Hi Krzysztof,

Why are you using 4 threads for some programs and 2 for others in this tournament?

Michel

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Hi Krzysztof,

Why are you using 4 threads for some programs and 2 for others in this tournament?

Michel

Because it all depends on how the programmer will set up his program. For example, if you write me this way, Krzysztof set the program Dragon in option Number of cores for 4 to change to 4. So far you have written me to make this option for 2.I always try to maximize each program.

Fabien.

Hi Fabien,

Edeon, it's a program similar to Turbodambase and Aurora Borealis.
It permit to analyse game with a good interface.

Also, it has a good level with what we are seeing.

I know all this from the youtube video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-NawsR ... e=youtu.be
where a game of Chizov against Groenendijk was analysed with Edeon 10x10 version.
