Amyan birthday update

[Anonymous]

As my birthday is so so close, I felt like doing an update...

Amyan 1.596 is available from my page. Past version was 1.595 and this one is almost the same. Download only if you still wish, as always.

For the curious.......:

- About 5 optimizations for the search were done. But.. that doesn't make any difference greater than a 4% speed up or so. My code is every day more bloated and with too much "little usefull" stuff to my taste.
- At the eval only one slight change were done, for when the queen and only one other piece is attacking the enemy king. An extra bonus. Before only when a queen and 2 or more other pieces were attacking it had an extra bonus.
- Fixed logo some past versions were not packed with my favorite logo, that was not at purpose.
- Something about extensions I don't remember but was very very minimal.

I guess i will release with version number 1.6 when I implement some new features, like for example FRC, uci multipv, pondering as winboard engine etc. or when i go thru 1.596->1.597->1.598->1.599->1.6, which is inevitable..

Your download-link looks like this:
"And of course you can download amyan 1.596(10-June-2005) compatible with Winboard and UCI: Amyan 1.595"

The last word should be 1.596 (instead of 1.595).

The binary inside the zip is the right version.

P.S.

You forgot to add "Just Amyan" in your title. I get a wonderful feeling of Deja vu when I see it.

I didn't forget that, I just didn't do it because the birthday thing, but now I change my mind. I would like now to have put a "Just Amyan..." (with the three points, important thing).
I wonder if this is going to give me bad luck
