Neurosis 2.0 (Leiden) available
Posted: 08 May 2006, 10:07Neurosis 2.0 from ICT2006-Leiden is available for download.
Winboard, and stand-alone 3D-gui version.
First, hello and thanks to everyone who participated and/or made the Ict2006 tournament possible, it was a nice tournament.
What's new:
Bugfixes,
Faster,
Evaluation tweaks, most importantly to play more active, know better how to overwhelm a king, handle queens a little better. Also it'll handle passed pawns (in particular isolated) better.
I rewrote it's "vary mode" code, and the speculative modes have become more speculative.
And tried to improve and add moves to my tiny handwritten openingbook.
And changes in Neurosis3D/stand-alone.:
It can ponder now in Neurosis3D. (That's how I ran in Leiden)
Can set castling and enpassant rights in "edit boardposition" mode.
Can set (3 settings) number of nodes before recalculating and drawing a screenframe. (On the highest setting it will be able to use almost 100% cpu for chess calculation, but then you'll get just a few screenframes per second.)
