<b>WB enginelist, the last updates/new engines:</b>

http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/EnginesIndex.html

28/07/2002:
Updated: Tao v5.3 (exe only, so if you dont have v5.2 you need to download that
one also!)

Tao 5.3 update:

- Removed (hopefully all) bugs in UCI timemanagement.
 # Does not randomly allocate huge searchtimes anymore
 # Does not default lose anymore at move 40 in 40/5 40/5 40/rest mode
 # Solving testsuites with a fixed time (eg 5 secs per position) works now ok
 # Fisher clock works ok
- In UCI mate scores are given as such
- Uses standard "setoption hash" now, no more warnings to click away
- Added "setoption NalimovCache", ditto
- Removed a bug that delayed seeing of mates
- If the gui does not set any values for Hash and Pawnhash, the engine does
set default values (strange thing is Arena DOES always provide them,
Shredder not always)
- Does not default boot Winboard, hence faster UCI boot
- Slightly balanced evaluation out

- I would say this version is 50 ELO stronger than 5.2 (joke of course :-)

To the people who reported problems the last days, please test if they are fixed
now!
And also eventual new 'problems', thanks!
