World Draughts Forum

In the near future, I would like to conduct a Swiss tournament among programs in international draughts. Any program can take part in the tournament. Information about the tournament - game time - 15 minutes for 75 moves + 5 seconds per move , rounds 9 . The following programs will participate in ...

The latest version of GWD would play 21-27 with an evaluation of 0.29 after 30 seconds. GWD has a drop-out expansion feature to generate an opening book, it can recursively expand the two best moves in a position with a maximum absolute evaluation of less than or equal to +0.25 to avoid expansion ...

I understand and thank you for the information.

Only the match parameters are set in mm.exe.
Engine parameters must be set in the engines itself, nowhere else. And this is easy, because you have to start the engines first. Once the engines are correctly running on the computer(s) with the correct engine parameters, it is time to start mm.exe ...

That is, it is meaningless to play because you cannot set the most important engine and match parameters.

I have one more question. After running the mm.exe application during a match, how many cores will the program play with and what hash will it have.


mm.exe has nothing to do with the settings of MobyDam or Tornado.
As Harm said: start MobyDam with its parameters/settings, start Tornado and ...

No, those are mobydam.exe arguments. Not applicable for mm.exe. You need to keep things separate: make a shortcut for each of the engines, and a shortcut for mm.exe.


So the mm.exe application is a weak application since it is not possible to set such important parameters. Thank you for the ...

thank you for your answer and I have a question. Do commands like: work -e damend -x 5 -z -t 26.

Thank you for your answer. I have such a command: " D:\Moby Dam International\mobydam.exe" -e damend -x 5 -z -t 26 -mm.exe -t n=600 -m n=80 -1 host:port=localhost:27531 -2 host:port=localhost:27532 -matchfile=2-move ballots.fen . For now, the mm.exe file is not working. Unless I have errors in the ...

I have a question, is it possible to play the Moby Dam - Tornado match? But only with dxp and using 2-move ballots. If so, can someone write how to play such a match?

Thank you for the information. And if this zero occurs in the game save, it is an error or not.

I invite you to visit the tab "video". Something nice for everyone.

I would also like to mention Sjende Blyn who has never lost a game.

A more difficult endgame where I'm not certain if a draw opportunity was missed, was the game Flits - Kingsrow. See the diagram with Flits to move at move 45.

Flits (white) played 38-33 and the game was concluded soon as a win for Kingsrow.
A better ...
