Winboard Forum

After i have done 2 years nothing on BlackBishop, i have now spent again a few days in further developing. Yes i'm back

Main changes since version 0.9.7i
- It's now possible to probe also 6-men TableBases thanks to an DLL by Joost Buijs (author of the dutch chess program Nightmare)
- Bug: Older versions are hanging after QUIT sometimes in the memory -> fixed
- Hash usage optimized -> results in playing better endgames
- Some changes in position evaluation
- Moveordering optimized
- Several other Bugs fixed and a lot other small changes.
- from my tests sofar version 0.35 is between 40 and 120 ELO stronger in longer time
controls than the old version 0.9.7i.

You will find also a beta version 0.37 with UCI interface.
- It's possible that the version 0.37 beta has a lot of bugs, perhaps also in Winboard mode, because a lot of things are changed inside the Winboard/UCI interface.
- Pondering and some other UCI features are not implemted yet. Will be implemented in future versions.

have fun with the new version

thanks Günther and Volker. Nice to see that you havn't lost the interest in computerchess like i in the last 2 years.

Nearby unbelievable what happens in this time, there are such a lot of new chess programs especially Rybka which seems to play in his own division.

best wishes
Andreas
