I've finally released a preliminary version of Beowulf v2.1. It can be found on the official Beowulf site; http://www.chessbrain.net/beowulf/ I've probably got something wrong, so let me know if it doesn't work. Hopefully it's noticeably stronger than previous versions. Cheers, Col ------------------- Progress since v2.0 ------------------- Fixed bug with Analyze mode when stepping through castling moves Altered board control code Added in double null move - noticeable speed increase occasionally Altered CM exits on window failures Altered Draw handling slightly, mainly during NULL move Now resets hash tables properly when board is reset Resets hash tables more efficiently, and doesn't use opponent's time. Fixed bugs with move ordering. Improved search speed, mainly through move ordering and eval tweaks. Many Eval tweaks, most importantly fixing pawn majorities. Added in infrastructure for distributed version. Improved time handling functions to make them more portable. Fixed move parsing with castling moves.
