Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
<>By the way, does anyone know how fast Hydra is searching in regular chess?
I knew that before updating to the new system Hydra calculated up to 8 million nodes per second.
In this new system that aparts from 16-Intel Xeons at 3.06 GHz and from 16 FPGA cards, i think i have heard that it can calculate around 16 million nodes per second but i'm not sure at all.
Hydra right now is one of the best Chess playing programs, but i think this is due to it's speed(not only this of course) and Shredder 8 for example on a system like that would be better.....
(Cacher) Si vous voulez jouer une partie contre un adversaire d'un niveau équivalent au votre, vous pouvez définir un BKR compris dans un intervalle lors de la création d'une nouvelle partie. Dès lors, personne ayant un BKR en dehors de cet intervalle ne pourra y accéder. (Katechka) (Montrer toutes les astuces)
