To all, This is the first "official version" of Horizon: Horizon’s play after the opening has improved very much. Time management is finally fixed, so Horizon can now play Blitz or conventional time-control. (Thanks, Colin!) For downloading, the opening book has now been separated from the program. The next version will include a file of evaluation parameters for users to tweak. 2001/11/1 version 1.0 Horrible bug found: Horizon thought it was always playing the opening! That's why mid-game and endgame play was so mysteriously weak. This bug was introduced back in version 0.5. Beowulf codebase now supports conventional time-control as well as Blitz. Beowulf infrastructure problem where hash was always set to 16MB is now fixed. Changed doubled rooks reward: only given when on semi- or fully-open files. Found and fixed bug: Rooks on h-file were not recognized previously. King safety: pumped it up slightly and made uncastled offense/defense better. Added reward for connected passed pawns. web: http://www.HorizonChess.com/ email: HorizonChess@yahoo.com Best regards, Ron
