Hi computerchessfriends,

Gandalf 6 update 1 has been released !


Gandalf 6 update 1 release notes Januari 2005
---------------------------------------------

Gandalf 6.01 engine.

Bugfixes

- Fixed possible locks up in autoplay.
- Fixed various stops and crashes in native engine which mainly showed up in
autoplay on ICC/FICS.
- Various small bugfixes in UCI eninge.
- CP-gui contains single multivariation-analysis bugfix ( when testing a
mate-in-1 position. )

New features

- "UCI_ShowRefutations" feature added to UCI.
- Added Support for personalyties both in UCI and in native engine.


This update includes ChessPartner 5.3c files. Check the readme.txt file for
further info.


---------------
How to use the personalyties

In the engines properties page there are a large number of parameters which can
be 'tuned'. The default value for each parameter is 100 which means 100%.

The native engine can load these parameters from personality files. These files
are in the engines directory and have the .per extension. To load a personality
simply select it from the dropdown box and click the Apply button.
The personality files are simple text files which can be edited with notepad. To
create a new personality copy one of the existing files and edit it in notepad.
Two sample files are included; 'Default.per' and 'BeanCounter.per'. The
Default.per is the all 100% file and is supposed to give the strongest and
balanced play.

The UCI version of the engine does not support the personality files but is does
allow setting the parameters via UCI options.
