Surprise 4.2.7
Posted: 14 Jan 2006, 01:11Hi,
I have just released Surprise-4.2.7 on my homepage. Changes against 4.2.6 are:
- Fixed a bug reported by Leo some months ago that, under certain circumstances, resulted in not sending a "result" string after end of game.
- Implemented simple "blind bishop" detection.
- Improved again move ordering.
- Several internal improvements and code restructuring, probably with little impact on strength.
Still many open points and not enough time left for private development, so the strength of Surprise evolves quite slowly. Nevertheless I'd recommend to use 4.2.7, I do not think it's weaker than 4.2.6.
Have fun with it (or beat it
)!
