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,

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 ...

Hi all

Sorry for be late, a friend Luzimar, fixed this endgame bug of flits, and it's more stable and more strong.
Sorry again to remember at the end of the tournament.

Now what do I do with all of this?

You probably don't need to do anything to games already played because none of the outcomes changed after 85 moves.

Why this position is't so difficult to solve by the bests knowed engines without endgames database?

Even with a long time of search.

Friendly,

Hallo Krzysztof,

My suggestion is to add a paragraph on tie-break criteria, when players have the same score points.

I wish you success and a great tournament.

Best regards,
Kees Pippel
