Hello all, Just a short reply to this:
" Pascal, The only comment I can make is this: Rybka with polyglot under SCID gives EXACTLY the same analysis results as Rybka under Chessbase GUIs. How can that be "wrong" in some way? I agree that many times, Rybka under SCID (without Polyglot) finds strong moves sooner than under Chessbase, but the fact is, we need to see that Polyglot / Rybka in combination gives the same result as Chessbase / Rybka and that is, for most of the computer chess population, the definitive reference platform. Thanks for your efforts with this investigation! Roy " There are a few different versions of PolyGlot: 1) Polyglot 1.4 http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/download.htm 2) PolyGlot 1.4 X 070325 http://www.weidchess.com/downloads/ where in 2) you can find a link to this: 3) PolyGlot 1.4 X 070325 ReadMe http://www.weidchess.com/downloads/polyglot/polyglot_x_070325.html Obviously PolyGlot 1.4 X 070325 is better than Polyglot 1.4 ... But then you will have to use an updated "cygwin1.dll" file to get a boost and a stability increasement over version 1.5.24-2 that is uncompatible with Windows MCE,Windows Vista,Windows 2003, Windows 2008,,, etc. like you can see hinted here: 4) Updated: cygwin-1.5.25-5 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-12/msg00023.html 5) Updated: cygwin-1.5.25-7 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-12/msg00036.html 6) Updated: cygwin-1.5.25-11 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2008-03/msg00031.html As I wrote for example here: 7) On Cygwin1.dll versions performance... http://f22.parsimony.net/forum41668/messages/47079.htm and here: 8) Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-4 and Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-7 ... http://f22.parsimony.net/forum41668/messages/45940.htm so as a brief summary Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-4 or Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-7 are both about 10% faster than Cygwin1.dll 1.5.24-2 (Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-4 is much faster than the other versions and Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-11 is unbelievable slow id est you will have to check out its performance to believe that it can be that slow...) and they are much better to use with versions of Windows later than Windows 98 SE id est that they will NOT work as they should with Cygwin1.dll 1.5.24-2 so I would suggest that Cygwin1.dll 1.5.25-4 is used instead of Cygwin1.dll 1.5.24-2 ...
