The last results of movei00_8_174 against Junior5 were positive and movei seem to be able to beat Junior5 with time handicap of 3:1 in the nunn2 match at 90 minutes against 30 minutes(ponder off) and that seems to be a good reason for a new release. 00_8_174 has result of 15-9 in the last 24 nunn match games against Junior5(it is 26-24 for movei if I combine this result with result of 008_168a and 008_170 that have a bug of using swap_list[-1]) Some known bugs or disadvantages of 00_8_174 1)Movei00_8_174 can fail to deliver the fastest mate because as soon as it see a mate it may prune other mates but I do not know of cases of missing a win because of that problem. I also do not know of very long games like smarthink's games because of that problem. 2)Movei00_8_174 does not use tablebases except internal kpk tablebases of Dieter that were posted here with permission of Dieter. 3)Movei00_8_174 has a very small book and the book still does not know about tranposition. 4)Movei is using logfile with the name moveiloginfo143.log(the name is based on movei00_8_143 and I was too lazy to change it) I did some small changes in movei from the last version that are probably not changes in the engine unless I have some bugs but I assume that every change may do the program weaker because of some bug so I plan to release 00_8_174 and not a version with small changes like changing the name of the logfile and having special functions to write to logfile. I plan to write some information in hebrew and english about movei and send it as a zipped file to Leo who is going to release it. I am not sure if I am going to finish writing information about it today and even if I finish it then I am still not sure if Leo is going to release it in his page in the next few hours but you can expect it soon.
