Ponder and/or FRC?

[mhonert]

Hi, thank you!
Pondering is already on my todo-list. FRC could be interesting as well.
I will probably not (yet) train a separate neural network for this mode, but basic support could be possible.

Hi Martin!
Congratulations and thanks for Velvet 3.0.0. I have just started testing it in my SuperBlitz: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/freeware-against-commercial-chess-software-arena-3-5-1-vs-chessbase-fritz-17

And added your reference here: http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78182&p=908430#p909451

Best regards, Alex

Hi Alex, thank you! I will have a look at the results.

I just added support for pondering, so it will be part of the next release.

Awesome! That's one less "to-do" on the list :D
In my FRC tournament, I use 30 minutes + 5 seconds TM with ponder ON (1 thread), so that's great.

I just released v3.1.0, which includes pondering support.
FRC will probably be part of one of the next releases.

OK I try it

[mhonert]

I released v3.3.0, which adds support for FRC.

[CMCanavessi]

Awesome!
