------------------------------

Version 1.5f

Changes:
1. Stronger endgame.
2. Better pawn eval
3. Wrote extra resign code.
(to take account of increased piece values in endgame.)
4. Time management adjusted. (Was losing a lot of games running
out of time, having to make rushed moves, forcing bad mistakes).
5. Results sent now (wins/losses/3-fold reps/draws/unfinished).
(Thanks to Leo (WBEC) for report).
6. Just one compiled version now (should work on all systems)



Engine: Tikov Chess
Author: "Tikov Team", England.
-------------------------------

Version 0.6.3

Changes:
Hashtable size increased from 3Mb to 35Mb.
Tweaked time code again.
Tweaked resign function again.
Made changes to eval. (more aggressive)
A few small bugfixes.
-------------------------------

Available from my homepage:


I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everybody at the
Winboard Forum (and their families) a Merry Christmas,
and a very prosperous New Year!

Ding .. da .. ding .. ding.. ding .. ding .. ding .. ding ..
Fa.. la .. la.. la. la. la .. la .. la.. laaaaa ...

Hello Jim:
Tikov 0.,63
Thanks for your season greetings. I am worried about the Tikov new 35Mb hash size. There is a lot of Winboarders with old PC with small RAM memory. The ideal is something like 16Mb of hash size.
With my best wishes for a very happy Christmas together with your family.
