This is an initial Windows executable: http://www.mediafire.com/?ztoyrbr22u695bi

I had to modify the source code here and there, because Windows uses DLL-library in a different way by Linux. Shortly be releasing versions for Win32 and for support "popcnt" (eg. Intel Core-i7)...

Good testing!
Carotino.

Hi Carotino,
I have started your new compile but I don't see loading or use of RB.
My friend who is also testing the same engine said the same thing.
Anybody had better luck.So far this new version is not very impressive.

That's right. The engine is essentially the same as the version 999947c. The Decembrists, have worked a lot on Robbobases, using the DLL-libraries. Even the "Comrades-GUI" has been improved...

Now these are more integrated with the engine and, in theory, should be more efficient. There must also be a link with TB "Gaviota", but so far I have not looked well the new package. There is a lot of meat on the fire.

I would love to test the latest Ivan's but it seems the last few builds i cant even load them with my Xeon system. Was hoping someone can post one for more than 12 cores and works on Xeon's

Thanks

The included pdf files answer many usage questions; eg: UCI options, RobboBases, perft, montecarlo, benchmark, etc. Some features are only available in Mode_Analysis. All I did was extracted/converted documentation the authors provided.

Something is not right with the latest builds of Ivans for my System ... for some reason on my Xeon system the only one that will load is the E:\Chess\Engines\IvanHoe999946a\Windows\Mode_Analysis\x86-32. What ever has been done for this version I hope can be done for the others esp x64. I believe I have some good ideas for the setups of stronger Ivans but I can't test because nothing loads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Normally Dan Corbit helps me with builds but this lates versions he has not been able to help.

what about IvanHoe999947c version ?

Yes, I had the same problems. It seems that all the builds after Fire 2.2 I have had problems with .. initially i had the problems with that but it was fixed. I can how ever use the version thats 8 core's with no dll's. I am thinking it had something to do with loading the Robbobase whats causing the problems. But as it is now the will note load.
