Hi,

Spike 0.9 is finally availiable for download. It is the same version that played
at IPCCC in paderborn. We think that Spike 0.9 has much improved compared to
Spike 0.8, in our tests it is about 70 Elo better.
Now Spike 0.9 has more pruning and more chess knowledge. The interface support
for UCI has improved it now supports some of the new UCI 2.0 commands. It still
supports both, winboard and UCI.There are new winboard and UCI options for
controlling the search of spike. If you test spike and like to publish the
results anywhere, please publish any changed settings too.Spike is free and
availiable for download at

http://spike.lazypics.de.

There is a new version of SpikeConfig too, the interface to the configuration
file. The BookBuilder of spike hasn´t changed, neither has the spike book
format.

Spike will now also be available in the future setups of the Arena Chess-GUI.

Greetings and have fun with spike!

Ralf & Volker
