Re: ChesSkelet: micro chess program - 363 Bytes

Re: ChesSkelet: micro chess program - 363 Bytes

If you visit the website now, it should be fine. Note that the snapshots link is slightly different, so the one below is not valid anymore. Álex Hi Alex :), thanks. I already found the above address, but I cannot access (I get Error 403) the Snapshots section: http://borialabs.free.nf/chesskelet/sna...

Re: Chesskelet revamped - 269 bytes

No worries. No need to apologize. This has to be just fun. :-) Apologies If I came across a bit mean Reeagbo. It's just that I really look forward to these minimalist versions and I innocently thought a strong as possible game was the intention so please forgive my error. Strong game or not it doesn...

Re: Chesskelet revamped - 269 bytes

I re-compiled with zx spin and still get 269 bytes. I might be wrong but I recall recounting manually and i would get the same figure as zx spin. Where does the difference with pasmo come from? I wouldn't know. Anyway, the topic could be trickier, as i count the metadata i use as part of the code. S...

Re: Chesskelet revamped - 269 bytes

Hi flange, I know this effort as I know Poudade's, Toledo's and many others. And I mostly agree with you. All of those projects play much better chess, have more options and have a nicer interface, but let's not confuse things. That was not my aim. If you are looking for something that will give you...

Hello! That is king of the expected behavior. It was never meant to beat anyone. I´m just happy that it did not behave weirdly. That's how far Chesskelet gets. :-)

Yes, I tried your moves and the glitch happens as you say. Unfortunately, I´m not working on this project anymore.

Re: ChesSkelet: micro chess program - 363 Bytes

And now, some more fun stuff on Chesskelet. During 2022 and 2023 I spent some time working on a Guinness World Record request, which, by the way, was not an easy job. Never thought of it, but a friend kept insisting and insisting, and I finally thought: why not? It took me some time to convince GWR ...

I’ll see if I can find it, though I think it’s probably here on an old thread.

Re: ChesSkelet: micro chess program - 363 Bytes

Hi P.S., From my understanding, you are right on all of your observations. I think think other coders already did a great job in writing minimal negamax and other variants, so as you guessed, that was out of my scope. Alex Was about 11 seconds or so for me to save a 363 byte block of random data. Mo...

Re: ChesSkelet: micro chess program - 363 Bytes

Right! You could have helped me with my program! Anyway, I meant bytes.

With chesskelet it happened to me that I had all regular registers occupied, so I had no chance but pushing some, so the work, and popping then later,so this kind of thing would have saved mute from some headaches.
