Stuart is planning to release 5.03 soon. I think he's mostly waiting for me to look into a bug in a patch that I submitted to make it work with the WinBoard protocol version 2. I'll probably fix that this weekend. This should allow me to include a GNU Chess 5.03 executable in a near future WinBoard release. >I noticed Zippy(C) on ICC is still using an older version of GNUChess, and I >was wondering why? No particular reason. Zippy is just there for fun (and to exercise xboard), and I happen to feel like sticking with the old 4.0.x GNU Chess that he has always used. GNU Chess 4 and 5 are completely different programs (no code in common, different books), so there is some interest in playing against both; they should have somewhat different styles. >GNUChess doesn't learn does it? If not, wouldn't that ultimately >let others repeat wins vs it? GNU Chess 4 definitely doesn't learn. I don't think GNU Chess 5 learns at this time either. However, I don't care a great deal if people want to waste their time trying to repeat games (which should be difficult due to the fairly large book).
