Hi Chess- and Chest-friends, a new update for ChestUCI (and also for the original (Win)Chest!) is now available under: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/Chest/chest.html No great enhancements, but a few small bugfixes: A rather unimportant one (very rare!) within my UCI-interface, and a bugfix in the original Chest, that I´ve discovered some days ago. After an email to Heiner Marxen he has found (and solved) the problem immediately and told me, how to correct it (changing only 1 line in one of his source modules!). So I recompiled this new Chest, which is called ´WinChest.exe´ in my package. Once more many thanks to Heiner for his very kind and fast support! (But this bug occurs only under very special situations, so probably nobody has ever been affected by it) Furthermore I made a minor improvement when solving complete testsuites (EPD-files) in ´Expert mode´ (with option ´-b file´), and for the same purpose I´ve included a small (command-line) utility ´EPDUtil.exe´ (with English description) for creation and manipulation of such EPD-file for automatically being solved by Chest (in its ´bulk mode´) - certainly only interesting for ´power-users´ of Chest. I hope, the next major update of ChestUCI will be more interesting, since Heiner is already working on this next release of Chest. What I know about it, he has already implemented tablebase support (!), and I´m quite sure that Heiner has some other good ideas for it - so hopefully we´ll not have to wait too long for it. ;-) Much fun with this update, and best regards, Franz.
