Subject: Crafty 19.13 SE will be out this weekend

Author: Mike Byrne

With a few new features expected:

The move now key will be functional while using the "delay move" function.

A random search depth command "rsd".

"rsd 3 7" will randomly select  a search depth ebwteen 3 and 7 ply.

"rsd 3 7 6 12" will randomly select  a search depth bewteen 3 and 7 ply dueing
opening and 6 to 12 depth during endgame.  The low search depth is often fine
for opening and middle game, for the endgame it is often two week.   A user
could use :

"rsd 3 7 0 0" limited search depths of 3 to 7 in the opening and middle game and
unlimited search depth in endgame.

Should be  avery nice feature - it was suggested by a Crafty 19.SE user.

Best,

Michael

PS - My computer is about halfway restored - but I made sure I got MSVC restored
first.  On a less positive note, I will no longer be able to offer a PGO version
(AMD) for Crafty as I lost Intel 7 with my computer failure. My current Crafty
19.13 (no SE) is about 20% faster than Slater's SEE2 version and 5% faster than
Skinner's on my specific P4 1.7 Ghz Xeon processor.  YMMV.
