Mike:

Thanks for the promotion drop down.

Mike: EPD ignoring positions set to zero seems problematic as that would require setting them to zero which would conflict with the ignore positions without numeric assessmernts. Allowing EPD to ignore branches would be nice but that can be handled by building you own epd file, albeit a pain. Perhap...

Mike: I didn't notice the other message with the questions. 1) You understood what I meant by end conditions. Stopping immediately upon reaching one of those irrespective of their value doesn't give a useful answer as the current ply is truncated in the middle and the returned analysis, that's only ...

Mike: The reason for wanting to analyze for longer times is because I know it is necessary if you want an accurate answer. On my rig it has sometimes taken over an hour to get to analysis that seemed trustworthy. More normal is in the range of 5-10 minutes. As I stated somewhere earlier my normal re...

B-Savage: Just trying to help. It would probably be helpful if you could supply a directory listing. In case you aren't old enough to be aware of the old but simple technique I'll explain. 1) start <command prompt> it can be found in the accessories folder c:\accessories 2) cd to the directory i.e. ...

P.S.

The direct ascii method at the end may have one catch, you may need change the order of the bytes or even reverse all of the bits. If that is the case then using the first method and converting 9 text digits to binary for each field seems easier.

I'm sorry, but I didn't check very carefully. You changed the limit to 2B nodes :cry: . That translates to just over 3 minutes. I always analyze significantly longer than that. Why do you insist on these arbitrary limits? Even if you are using a 32 bit compiler 2^30 or 10^9 should be simple while al...

Thank You Mike: Everything seems to be working great! I am done complaining, for now :lol: . I would like to see the two improvements that I requested: 1) an additional EPD option to finish the current ply when an end condition is hit. 2) to be able to ignore blank assessments like blank rate codes ...

Mike: I wrote a lengthy reply earlier but evidently forgot to save it. I will make it very short, for me :lol: , this time. 1) I made the error that I make over and over, my rig does ~10M n/s not B. That would make being able to enter 100,000M in the epd sufficient for about five years i guess. A ge...

Mr. Crockett: I am not certain of you qualifications so please forgive the insult if you have any. I have been a master for ~30 years and a highly sought after software guru for ~35. Like many people accusing others of being trolls I doubt that you have even the faintest understanding of the discuss...
