Thanks!!
Where can one find the Robbobases? I also must admit I don't quite how to operate the guis. But I installed Ivanhoe 46h (analysis) into Shredder and it works great. What is the difference between the game play version and the analysis version? I am much more interested in analysis of mine and other players' OTB games. (such as old masters etc. etc.)
Thanks again for your help.
RobboBases can be obtained from either
http://chess.cygnitec.com/RobboBases or
http://ippolit.wikispaces.com/RobboBases.
Engine differences: GamePlay build is geared for engine-engine match, while Analysis build is for...analyzing. There are key differences; for one, UCI Ponder is disabled in Analysis build, and it has additional features, e.g. MonteCarlo search, and a few more utilities not found in GamePlay build. GamePlay is faster.
Apparently no one reads a readme file anymore. A lot of answers are provided in the readme.pdf file included in the package -- one of those answers is how to get RobboBases. Since it has not drawn your attention, perhaps if renamed to Please_Please_ReadMe.pdf will make a difference.
Depending on the suggestions, the readme.pdf might be renamed to something more obvious on the next release to grab more attention. Here are a few suggestions of mine: ReadMe.pdf, Help.pdf, HowTo.pdf, Obama_Will_Not_Be_Re-Elected_Unless_You_Read_This.pdf, Obama_Will_Be_Re-Elected_Unless_You_Read_This.pdf,...
