Résolution - Solving

There are 3 ways to solve a problem with WinChloe :

  1. The default one, (called the "Windows" solving in this help) : more than 500 conditions and 700 pieces, and using hashtables.
  2. Using the old "Chloe" programs, (called the "DOS" solving) : faster than the Windows solving (except when hashtables are very useful, i.e. when there are few pieces) and having an intelligent mode for helpmates.
    But only the most usual pieces (such as Grasshopper, Nightrider, Lion, Leo, Pao, Vao, Zebra ...) and conditions (Maximum, Circé, Madrasi ...) are available.
  3. Using "Natch" (only for orthodox proof games).
bullet"Windows" solving (Press "Esc" to interrupt)
 
bulletRésoudre : to solve the problem using the options defined in Options pour la Résolution.
bulletOptions pour la Résolution : Options for "Windows" solving.
bulletRésoudre tous les problèmes de... : To solve all the problems, or all the filtered problems, of the opened table, using the options defined in Options pour la Résolution.

 

bullet"DOS" solving (Press any key to interrupt)
 
bulletRésoudre (DOS) : to solve the problem using the options defined in Résoudre (DOS) avec options.
bulletRésoudre (DOS) avec options : Options for "DOS" solving.
bulletRésoudre (DOS) tous les problèmes de... : To solve all the problems, or all the filtered problems, of the opened table, using the options defined in Résoudre (DOS) avec options.

 

bulletRésoudre avec Natch : to solve with Natch. For the options, see the documentation given with "Natch", also available from the Natch homepage.

bullet Définition des pièces : you may only use this page to change the "codes" of usual pieces if you don't use the default french notation. Just click on a piece in the left zone and change the "Code" field.
For instance, for the english notation, click on 'Roi' and type 'K' in the "Code" field, then click on 'Dame' and type 'Q' in the "code" field...etc.
If you want to define a new piece, go to Suggérer une nouvelle entrée pour les tables auxiliaires in the '?' menu and Christian Poisson will do it for you.
bullet Définition des promotions : just for information : not documented.
