a couple days ago, i posted 1.0 for download on the cyclopschess website,
unfortunately, unkown to me...this executable had a major (compiler) issue and was playing at around 1600 ELO. (should be ~2300)
my thanks to Gerhard Schwager (free-engine-blitz@online.de) for pointing this out to me..
i have now recompiled it and reposted the download (still named Alderon 1.0).
If you already downloaded Alderon 1.0, I apologize for the inconvenience, please re-download and use this fixed executable.
