Sir Gurcan,
ReplyDeleteIt has been long time since you haven't updated chesstroid.
Would you please update?
Everyone is waiting for this.
I hope Gurcan will still update Chesstroid..
ReplyDeleteBack in 2017 Chesstroid was quiet in July and some thought it was dead:

No. Just a regular break before a stormy comeback. The longer the break, the heavier the comeback :-)

So perhaps there is hope still..although this time the break is 4+ months so far...

ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone !
ReplyDeleteYou are all welcome, and its my pleasure.
For today's breakfast I wanted to bring an arena chess opening book to binary format, therefore I chose it from Chessowl blog,http://chessowl.blogspot.com/p/chess-engine-opening-books.html
Book title, HS-20moves 2.0, the author claims of 1,007,272 positions, but as I convert it to pgn, the amount differs a lot, means it is 48505 positions, so I made no chances in pgn and directly convert it to binary, here the link- https://www.mediafire.com/file/6acwl17ulztuhy7/HS-20moves.bin.7z/file , what make me more surprised is, the positions pgn aren't all 20 moves, there you can find 15moves in it, get pgn here -https://www.mediafire.com/file/qm2k85cun52ud5a/HS-20moves-p48505-pgn.7z/file ,
Still the bin book all reaches to 20 moves,I checked it myself, it's amazing
Wow this is a nice book.Thank you again Karim!
DeleteGood morning everyone !
ReplyDeleteI hope you have benefited from the binary books.
Here I'm again ready with a new compiled book of ARENA called (s-canbaz-v071__perfect)
Book depth:20 moves
Book Position: 35050 Positions
And I am not sure if I have included pgn into 7zip file
Please inform me, because this book was compiled somedays earlier

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteNow just, I have tested andscasc vs Ethereal on my octacore device.

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteDon't ignore this please!
Please help Ethereal,
because by some unknown reason Ethereal is banned from "tcec season 13".
So, please make a request to tcec member for give the permission to play Ethereal in tcec13.
If Ethereal won't play then tcec become bored and will be same consequences as previous s12. Nothing new will be in world of chess without Ethereal.
Here is the Anton(tcec member) email, please mail him and make a request for Ethereal.
(anton.mihailov@gmail.com)
So, don't waste your time, as you read this then at once email Anton.
Thanks!
I did
DeleteHi Karim!Thank you very much for compiling the arena book by Sedat Canbaz,the file though has no pgn.
DeleteTo Rahul thank you for sharing the link for Ethereal,I e-mailed Mr.Anton.
Hi Karim,I have a request.Can you please convert the 2 pgn files into bin book?They are 8 moves GM LB.pgn & 8 moves v2.pgn culled from Vajolet Chess engine github page.Many thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteHere is the link:https://github.com/elcabesa/vajolet/tree/master/test
ReplyDeleteYes Paulzzz I will if Jesus my Lord wished lol,
ReplyDeleteRahul why don't you check it first if ethereal is participant of TSEC season, I saw your emotion and I mailed anton, then I released that ethereal 9.64 is already participant of TSEC 12, I didn't check TSEC 11..
Oh no I meant to type, realized
ReplyDeleteHi Karim and paulzzz,
DeleteThanks for the support to Ethereal.
Actually, At this morning,On tcec chat room Andrew and the one member of tcec began to argue meaninglessly, and the member became angry and banned Andrew and his engine.
As you know that Ethereal is fast growing engine. Ethereal gain much elo in two years.
While others engines are stopped.
I am a big fan of Ethereal and Xiphos.
Great thanks!!!!
Ah yeah i hope ethereal participates in tcec 13 .Latest ethereal 10.55 is incredible.It should be about the same strength or a little stronger than Andscacs 0.921(that Alexei ported for Android) in CCRL 40/4.So about 3200 + elo.Very impressive!!
DeleteHi Lazar and all,
ReplyDeleteEthereal is +67 elo over andscasc.
I have made only 300 games and its much accurate. If anyone want to made more game,yet elo gain not be change.
An impressive progress done by Sir Andrew.
If we will get sir Alexie compilation than Ethereal will be more stronger.

Hey Rahul I need arm7
ReplyDeleteHi friend Karim,
DeleteThanks for the book, but sorry, I have no arm7.I will try to manage arm7 next time.
Rahul! Thanks in advance, I have a question from you Rahul, are you a chess player of Indian chess federation ? Cause I saw this name in Bhopal chess event I think,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the polyglot book Karim!Yes life has ups and downs but what's more important is to be resilient and stand up everytime we fall...
DeleteHi karim,I am not a player of Indian chess federation, But I am a good chess player for human not for machine.
DeleteHi all, enjoy the new version of K2.

ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteTry new STOCKFISH derivatives with new interesting idea.
Unfortunately, this is not running of naugat device.
Go through the site and download linuL binary which has arm7 for android.
Try and tell me if it's working for someone.
https://github.com/amchess/ShashChess/releases
It is not working in my device.
DeleteHi, it's not working for me too. I have Android Oreo.
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeletePedone 1.8 has been updated.https://sites.google.com/site/pedonechess/
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteCan anyone suggest me, how to use syzygy on cfa?
I want to use syzygy for Ethereal.
I'm assuming you already have tablebases on your phone, if not download them from https://chess.cygnitec.com/tablebases/syzygy/wdl/5/ for example and unpack on your phone. If you already installed Ethereal, than clear it's options and run any new tourney with it. In the box where you chose engines options put full path of your Syzygy, on Android it will be /storage/emulated/0/"yourSyzygyFolderName" or /sdcard/"yourSyzygyFolderName"
DeleteI put my path as here on cfa box option
ReplyDelete/storage/emulated/0/nemo
On Nemo folder I have contained tablebases.
But, it shows ' found 0 tablebases'.
What I do now?
Are the files in your Nemo/ folder have .rtbw and .rtbz extensions? There should be 290 files for 5-men Syzygy, around 1GB in size unpacked. I just checked newest Ethereal, tablebases work fine with it and with any other engine using Syzygy
Delete...and does anyone here have a contact with Alexei Chernakoff? He was unbeatable with his compiles for Android, faster than my PC :) Android chess is almost dead without this golden guy :(
DeleteGood we have couple of programmers who know Android platform chess is a huge % of the users, and they make builds for Android. Kudos to Andy Grant (!), Rasmus Althoff (CT 800), author of Pedone Fabio Gobbato, Xiphos, Delocto and couple of others. The rest see Android as a "slow, unpopular" platform probably :)
DeleteHi raff,
DeleteIn my Nemo folder have .rtbw and .rtbz extension and 293 files total.
Hi raff,
DeletePlease see my screen shot here and suggest me something.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mbEo_FOtMqJMKzOCXefaT7X_IPaOgfhX/view?usp=drivesdk
You don't really need the first 3 files, they're for PC only, so it gives 290 files - seems ok. Maybe your Syzygy is under too many subfolders, I've got my files under /sdcard/DroidFish/rtb. Try to move your files to make the path look like this: /sdcard/syzygy/3-4-5/"all your rtbw and rtbz files"
DeleteHi raff,
DeleteA big thanks to you for help me.
Now, I am able to use sygyzy for droidfish and CFA.
Thanks!
Glad I helped :)
DeleteAlexie has been disappeared from here and from talkchess.com. I wish, when we visit this site again we see alexie compilation here and say! God help us!
ReplyDeleteCome back Alexie, it has been too much time.
I have the email of Sir Alexei which dates back when Aprijal Pasaribu's blog was still active...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI see Alexei was visiting russian 4pda forum today, so at least we know he's probably ok.
DeleteWell, the times are going, we had Jim Ablett, we had Aprijal, maybe Alex decided to leave compiling as well, who knows
raff1st1 are you sure u see alexei cherbakov at 4pda forum? can send any link?
ReplyDeleteYes, he was mainly writing in Droidfish thread, but stopped since a month ago. Here's the thread - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=324262&st=780 . You need to register first to download anything, the last engine he posted is Cfish 060618
ReplyDeleteHi Sir,do you have the binaries of this Cfish?I have trouble registering on this site since I'm not adept in understanding Russian.Regards.
DeleteHi Paulzzz, no I don't anymore, but you know there's newer Cfish 20180616 build from Javiolo on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.packs.cfishengine and 010718 shared by Rahul: https://www71.zippyshare.com/v/nQvKXZVP/file.html ? They're newer, but 10-15% slower unfortunately
DeleteI could download Alexei build and share it here later, but I don't wanna install Dropbox, Google Drive, and register etc. I can send it to your e-mail maybe, and than you can share here if you want?
DeleteOk Raff please send the Cfish binaries by Sir Alexei in my email: mhoadievpachu1@gmail.com
