Subject: new ChestUCI 3.9 - the last version!

Hello Chest-friends!

In the last two weeks Heiner Marxen made some further optimizations in WinChest,
and also I have now finally implemented all my ideas (not less than 10!) for
ChestUCI improvements. Since I´ve now really no more ideas how to further
improve
ChestUCI, this will probably be the last version - at least for a VERY long
time. ;-)

Here are the changes/news in short form:
- maximum mate depth increased from 62 to 126 (resp. 63 for helpmates)
- new search mode ´AutoTurbo´: more efficient automatic search for the optimum
  solution parameters (needs considerable less calculation steps!)
- if the calculation of the complete solution tree takes too much time, after
  aborting you´ll now at least get the main line (PV) of the solution
- also in automatic-mode aborting now gives the last found solution
- for ´ThreatRange´ now also a list of values ´a,b,c´ can be entered
- two new entries ´only_CR´ and ´only_CRK´ in the option ´SearchOrder´
- a complete new option ´UseClipboard´ allows the exchange (write/read) of
  problem-data (FEN + solution parameters) with the clipboard, which (if used
  correctly) makes the handling of ChestUCI really more comfortable
- some optimizations of special- and automatic-mode in WinChest and ChestUCI

As always at this point also this time my hint to have a look at the included
program description ´English.txt´ for detailed informations about the changes
and news - a simple text search in this file will be sufficient.

The new version can be downloaded at the following link:

Enjoy the new version, :-)
best regards,
Franz.
