I have played a few games on abalone-online, and it seems that the 2003 version of Nacre has at least 2000 in the current rating system - when starting from...

I'm currently trying to enhance my own Abalone Program. If you want to test it, simply ask me at "david.malek@..." (instead of the dmalek@... which is...
Hi everybody. If you want to test the strength of your program, it is a good idea to implement the abnet protocol. A few programs already exist that implement...
Thanx for trying my lovely abalone ;) Good to see that i'm fast, it's true that i'm probably not that bad in terms of search (and plenty of ideas), and still a...
Ok, so I've also tested version 1.5 of My Lovely Abalone against Nacre 2003. This time the results are more mixed. 1 sec/move: MLA-Nacre = 4-6 2 sec/move:...

Hi Stéphane I would like to test the program against MLA, AbaPro & Nacre, but have some trouble accessing the source code. I have tried your link, but is...
Thanks. This time I'm able to read the source. It may take a week or so before I have the time to complete the code merge and test, so please have patience. ...
