Well I finally got to working on a new version of Matrix (Crafty Clone). This is
no joke this version is the strongest I have seen to date. I have been playing a
few test games on ICC and it has yet to lose. It also is playing commercial
programs on much faster hardware and it is still winning. This version is based
off of Crafty 19.0 I did a lot of hacking removing the limiting extention and
added singular extension and other files that were in the old maxtrix such as
searchb.c, hashb.c, sing.c and searche.c. This time the extention are working. I
am still testing it ... but will be releasing it soon. I only have a version
for the smp Intel chips at the moment. Below are a few games it just played
which are amazing. The final tweak came with was done to the lazy_cutoff.
Thanks Again Dr Hyatt for your Excellent Crafty. You have made chess so much
enjoyable for a lot of us.
God Bless
Nolan Denson
I haven't tested it on longer time controls yet.
