Pascal Tang (France), Eugenio Castillo (Spain): Short readme for ELChinito: After playing some Massy tournaments Pascal and me decided this year 2003 to make a public version of Chinito because some people wanted it. Basically it works like a winboard engine but it's not exactly this, only the minimal commands has been included. First version appeared here in Arena had some serious bugs, last versions 3.1.Cx is the first one who really i like, the numbers 0 and 1 are from different compiler options, version 0 must be faster in most computers. Version 3.1.B is a special version (more solid) who has a different play style but with an unknown strenght. The file chinito.cfg is the configuration file for "consolemode" lovers, it's not necessary under Arena because the program configurate his self initial parameters. Some people ask for "easy" command who is equivalent to "ponder off". File "posbin" is created/administrated by Chinito and it pretends to be a learning system. User can delete it in any moment. The eficacy is not 100% demostrated, but minimal it try to gives different answers for bad known positions. There was Chinito versions who corrupt this file. File "book" has a smart opening book, the selection window is a bit high, and it's nearly impossible to configurate or modify. A good opening editor is one of the next proyects. We hope to have new version in 3-5 months, if you want to remit observations, bugs, etc. email us too: eugeniocas@telefonica.net Thanks, Pascal Tang & Eugenio Castillo(programmers of ELChinito) 1.
