Hello Chest friends, after I discovered a small bug in Chest last week, which does _not_ produce any wrong results but can considerably increase the solution time under very rare conditions, Heiner Marxen has of course found this error immediately and fixed it within one day. :-) For that reason there´s now a new version available, which at the same time includes a few new features and improvements in ChestUCI, which came to my mind since the last release - sorry, but it seems I don´t run out of ideas ... ;-) Here a short overview: - improvement in ´RetroAnalysis´: the start parameters are now calculated from the previous move sequence of the solution variant - new option ´RetroOptions´ allows detailled adjustment of different methods used for retro-analyzing (that´s only for experts!) - new mode ´SearchMode=DatabaseAnalysis´ is a simple test, if new positions (e.g. from EPD/PGN-files) already exist in the database ´ChestUCI.epd´ (maybe I´ll extend this function in the future!?) - changes for the database access: the ChestUCI database is now read into memory only once (at program start), all further actions are done with this copy in memory - fixed two small problems in ChestUCI and WinChest And last but not least my small mate-database ´ChestUCI.epd´ already contains almost 1400 mate puzzles, and all special parameter are fully optimized now. :-) Download of the new version 4.1 as usual under: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/Chest/chest.html Best regards, Franz.
