Hi Ricardo,

I still don't think so. You cannot make a judgement based on one Test Position.

You work for a living right? If so then every week you have produced something in your 40 hours of work.

A professional programmer is the same they are always working on improvements, hence your versions 2.1, 2.1a etc etc.. When converting Gideon Pro to PC the same thing happened, a hash change here, maybe more endgame there, a revised opening book etc So many things could have changed.

I am not even 100% sure that R30 Gideon 3.1 is 100% the same as Chessmachine 3.1. If you look on the R30 it says version 2.1 of the Gideon 3.1. This means ED had to make several changes to get to version 2.1 to make it work best on an R30. It could be Hardware compatibility adjustments, it could be piece recognition, it could be a thousand little changes.

So for Gideon Pro to be 100% identical even without the new Hash would almost be impossible since they did not come out at exactly the same time. Even if they did come out at the same time they would still not be 100% the same.

Best regards,

Nick
