Naum 1.6

[Naum]

Hi all,

I released the new version.
You can get it from http://www.geocities.com/naum_chess

Main changes:
- Improved tactics
- Improved opening evaluation (Naum was castling too late sometimes)
- Fixed bug in IID that caused Naum to search twice as many nodes as neccessary in the endgame
- Fixed incremental time control bug that caused Naum to loose on time even though there is an increment. Thanks to Norm and Karl-Heinz who reported it.

Have fun,
Alex

Based on the conversation with Leo, I added 'feature done=0' in order to avoid possibility of engine hanging at the start of the winboard game.

If you want Naum to send this command, you have to call Naum with the /xboard parameter. It means that you should use something like 'Naum /xboard' in your winboard.ini

I updated my web site at 4:50pm (22:45 German time), so if you downloaded Naum before that, and you need this fix, you should get it again.

Thanks,
Alex

Ups...

4:50 is 22:50 German time of course
