Hi.
Thanks for the positions I will check them up to see if I have solved these
problems.
I have been too busy in the last months so there have not been much work on my
engine, but I have taken it up now and the last changes have been that he shall
behave polite when he play against human. Thereby I liked most that he offered
draw in just the right position in the game above :)
The nice thing was that this was the first game after I had added the drawoffer
function that he played against a higher rated human.
There is a little newer version of my engine on my download page (
http://home.online.no/~malin/sjakk/download/ ). It is one engine in each of the
CCT4-n.zip files. CCT4-11.zip should be the latest. You can use it to match your
engine, its not so much stronger but have more endgame knowledge.
It was meant to be a beta-version but it report itself as v.1.3 and is pretty
much bug-free so I will add it as a direct link soon. I just bought myself a
know web-space to replace the free webhostme site with all its http busy
messages so I have to code something in perl to replace the asp-link pages.
I'm running the current version on ICC via a PC on my work. Remote control via
ICC work great but I have to replace book/engine so I try to make some restart
function via Outlook so I just mail it to let it restart.
I have not get the replacement function to work, I thought of adding book,
engine etc. as an attachement in the e-mail. It looks like I have to make the
addon program myself.
I will be up on ICC again in an hour or so, you can match me there if you want.
