Hello Chest-friends, my new version of ChestUCI is available. Additionally to small corrections, changes and improvements (listed in ´Version.txt´ - only in German), there´s one new essential feature: a new problem type ´Auto-Special-Mate´, which is an enhancement of the special-mate mode introduced in the last versions. With this new function ChestUCI is able to find the optimum parameter values for such special mates by itself - eiter full-automatic (i.e. for all 4 parameters) or half-automatic (i.e. only for those parameters not explicitly adjusted). (Please carefully read the detailed description of this new option in the included file ´English.txt´!) The full-automatic mode is thought for people, which are not very familiar with those adjustable special parameters - but of course in this mode finding the optimum solution can take quite a while. Chest experts will usually be much faster with the half-automatic mode, if obvious parameters are pre-set to the correct values, but for that a comprehension of the position (and sometimes also a ´flair´) would ne necessary - two qualities, which unfortunately I wasn´t yet able to implement into ChestUCI. :-( So of course you shouldn´t expect any ´miracles´ from this new function - an ´intelligent´ mode, which will solve any hard mate problem within seconds, will come later ... (about 2050 I guess, so a bit patience please ;-)) If you discover any problems with this new automatic-mode, or if anyone has some good ideas to make this function more efficient, I would be very grateful for such hints - either via email or posting in a chess forum. Best regards, Franz. Download of ChestUCI Ver.3.4 at: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/Chest/chest.html PS. for Heiner Marxen: Any progress with ´mate threats´ in Chest, Heiner? ;-)
