Hi all,new course by Igor smirnov its almost ready:


Welcome And Jump Aboard!

Last February, I encouraged you to send me your questions about tactics and calculation. YES, I’ve examined each and every question very carefully! I’ve been developing a new INFO-PACKED course about these topics for 3 months…

And here’s the good news: It’s almost READY!

If things go as smoothly as I expected, the NEW course will be ready next week (around 14-20 of May)!
And for my regular students: nice goodies and special offers are waiting for you. So don’t forget to check your e-mail’s inbox REGULARLY. You don’t want to miss any of it.
I’m sure you are wondering what’s inside the course.
In a nutshell, it’s a 3-in-1 course: calculation, tactics and visualization combined into one neat package. These 3 aspects of chess are too closely connected and combining them the way I did will give you a WELL-rounded training in all 3 aspects.

Let’s have a more detailed look into it:

The 1st COMPLETE System Of Chess Calculation In Chess History
Yes, this sounds like crap loads of hype. But, in fact, nobody offered something new since the times of Kotov. Of course there are many books that offer a bunch of advice and tips, but they will rather confuse you. Why? Simple, it’s because these books don’t have a system to combine the rules and principles into a cohesive and understandable WHOLE.

You need a complete and easy-to-use SYSTEM, which you can apply in every game. And that’s EXACTLY what you will get in this course.

The 1st COMPLETE System For Combinative Play

True, there are tons of tactical books, puzzles, and databases out there. Unfortunately, they bring little progress and eat a lot of your valuable time.
My approach is different. I don’t just toss in thousands of tactical exercises. I want to give you the FULL understanding of chess tactics:

–> What is a combination?
–> When and why they happen?
–> When do they work well?
–> How do you introduce combinations in your usual play?
–> And so on…

In my previous courses I provided such comprehensive programs for mastering strategy and developing a DEEP overall understanding for chess. This time around, you’ll master TACTICS.

A Special Program For Developing Your Visualization Skills
I don’t know why, but nobody explains HOW to visualize variations CLEARLY. Yet it’s such an important skill!

After all, how many times have you lost and how many combinations have you discarded because you’re not able to clearly evaluate the resulting position?
In my NEW course, I’ll show you the RIGHT methods for developing this VERY ESSENTIAL skill. You’ll train them with my help and you will feel very confident in facing even the most complicated positions.

Пока-что это просто генератор ходов. Уже есть поддержка UCI, по команде go выводит список всех возможных легальных ходов (кроме взятия на проходе - его позже добавлю).

Если погоняете по позициям (чтобы проверить не пропускает ли движок какие-либо ходы или не даёт ход, который нельзя делать) буду благодарен.

Ссылки

Исходники: https://bitbucket.org/failuref/powder/src
Exe: https://bitbucket.org/failuref/powde...ads/powder.exe

Что из себя будет представлять движок?

На первом этапе условия всего четыре:

- Читаемость даже в ущерб скорости.
- Поддержка всех шахматных правил (рокировка, энпассант, превращения во все фигуры).
- Полностью легальный генератор (никаких ходов под шах и т.д.)
- Полная поддержка UCI (любой временной контроль, все команды).

На этом этапе, когда сделаю поиск, не будет никаких небезопасных отсечений, оценочная функция как можно проще.

Кстати пока не поддерживается команда "position ... moves ...", так что позиции лучше брать без ходов от начала.

The Triad-chess is the deserving downward of « the king of games... Hi,

I come to you present the Triad-CHESS 3D HD to play chess with 3 players !

The Triad-chess is the deserving downward of « the king of games » . Having kept in mind the spirit, basics and proportions of the traditionnal chess game, the Triad-Chess opens up a whole new dimension... and what a dimension !!!

Having to confront yourself to 2 opponents at once increases the strategy by 100%. To allow that, the power of your unit has been increased by 50% to 100%, depending on the piece, and each piece is 50% more powerful than the traditional ones.


Throughout the Triad-chess conception process, everything has been throughly thought out...

- Castling : One small and two tall
- Taking in passing
- Promotion of the pawn with choice of piece
- Left pat
- Identifying cells.
- Etc.


If you already know how to play chess, Triad-chess is going to amaze you !

And if you don't know how to play, it's not a problem. You don't have to be familiar with the traditional chess game to start playing Triad-chess. The rules are as simple as it gets, the difficulty levels are ajustable and AI (artificial intelligence) is there to assist you (pawn activity display).

In all cases, once you get a hold of it, you won't want to let it go.
