Joao, if I remember well this is also a move sometimes played by Flits.

Black (Damage) now played 20-24?, and maybe already a decisive error.
This was followed by 12. 33-28 14-19 (think more or less forced, alternative 13-19).

Now Kingsrow ...

It's like this topic says 'Internet engine matches', this means two computers talking to each other via Internet or via a LAN.


The topic has already been discussed - using dxp you play on one computer . Unless someone else comes up with something else. Have a nice day Joost.


Hello Grzelak ...

It doesn't quite work that well. I copied the database and unfortunately the program does not see this database (version 4.6.2). I also noticed there is a problem (in my opinion) with the use of multithreading.


Hello Krzysztof Grzelak,

In my tests here, the 6-piece endgame database downloaded ...

Hello Michel,

I have a request. Can you make a new version of the program free of errors? Unfortunately, the program contains serious errors.

Krzysztof



Hello Krzysztof Grzelak!

I think I managed to work around the problems temporarily until the version is updated, at least the DXP errors I ...

It has been a while, but Dragon version 4.7.0 is now available:


New look, new icons

Before making my constructive comment, I would first like to praise and thank Grzelak for the work he has done so far with his tournaments. I am an enthusiast of draughts engines as well as of his tournaments, and I even make use of this work by recording the games that did not end in draws in my ...

Hi Joost,

Hello Sidiki!

Windows 10 has some settings options dedicated to developers that purposely limit the use of hardware. Exploring these settings, I understand that it is possible to make the computers similar and consequently the tournament less unequal.

Big hug my brother!


Thanks ...

Hi Ed,
I am writing to you with a request. You wouldn't do Kingsrow NNUE.I think the program would be great as well as the rest of NN's programs.

Krzysztof


Maybe there's something new coming to Kingsrow, as Ed usually releases his updates in mid-May, at least it's been that way for the last ...
