Subject: Update: ChestUCI Ver.2.2

Hi chess friends,

in my new ChestUCI ver.2.2 I´ve now implemented a very useful feature,
which has been suggested by someone in this forum:

While Chest is ´thinking´, ChestUCI now shows the search depth, the
move number and the current move (in intervals of about 1 sec).
I think this is rather useful, because so you can see, where and
how far Chest has gone in it´s calculation process. This feature,
for which I had to make some additions to the C-source of the original
´Chest´, is controlled by the new engine option ´ShowProgress´.

Furthermore I´ve included the UCI-command ´multipv´ in this new version,
and so ChestUCI is now supporting the multi-variant-mode of UCI.
But this will only work under ´Arena´ and only for the _next_ update
version of Arena, and means, that calling the new ´variant board´ of
Arena will then show _all_ possible solutions of ChestUCI and allow
to replay them (of course that´s already possible _now_ without this
´variant board´).

Bad news - there´s still no English manual available - sorry!
I´ve asked several times here (and in other fora), if someone
would be so kind to make a translation - without any success.
Many people want to use ChestUCI - but there seems to be nobody,
which likes to do a ´little bit of work´ for it.

Nevertheless, have fun with my new ChestUCI,
best regards,
Franz.
