Naum 1.8

[Naum]

Hi all,

You can download the new version from http://www.geocities.com/naum_chess

Main search change is that I finally added the history pruning which seems to be good for around 30 elo points. Naum goes much deeper, but is also less accurate.

Last month or two, I was mostly working on the evaluation. I think Naum plays better chess now. King safety isn't changed and it's still not very good. I added some endgame knowledge, but much much more is needed.
