Dear all,
ColChess v5.4 is now out, and it's quite a bit better than v5.3.
I've tidied up the code quite a lot and sped up the move generation functions.
WAC score is now up to 204/300. Hopefully I'll be able to add in extensions to the next version, which should make a large difference. I'm just working on a small bug with them right now.
If anyone is still planning on doing a winboard tournament for low (or middle) level programs then please use the latest version, though I haven't compiled a Windows .exe yet. The source is fully ready to compile if anyone out there feels like doing it, otherwise I'll have it done by tonight.
Thanks a lot,
Colin
