Hello all, my program is almost ready, I am planning to distribute it as feeware. Before doing so, I would like to get help by voluntary beta testers, because most likely I am unable to find some serious bugs myself. About my program: - called "Der Bringer" (this is german, kind of german slang), written in C++ - runs on Windows 95, Windows NT (and most likely on Windows 98, not tested) - graphical user interface (in german, but use "Ansicht-Sprache-Englisch" to switch to english) - it is *NOT* a crafty clone (not strong enough to be taken for one) - conventional board representation (10 * 12 squares), bitboards for pawns - hashtables, editable openingbook, read / write PGN, read EPD, player-player-mode - winboard (use "/winboard", without quotes, in winboard.ini) and autoplayer support - logfile (bringer.log) - some standard features still missing: - Help files still incomplete and only in german. - support of english still incomplete - documentation (many features are hard to use because of missing docu./online-help) - k-best-mode, copy-paste-FEN - from a programmer's point of view: booklearning, tablebases, parallel search, SEE, history heuristic, some endgame knowledge, much more... What I hope to get from you: All responses (positive/negative) are welcome. Please report missing features and bugs to me. The most valuable responses are of the following types: - I do "this, this, and that" (as exactly as possible), and the program crashes. :( - The program plays a stupid move in "this position" / "positions of that kind". - The program should have knowledge of xxx, it over-/underestimates yyy. - Errors in the translation of the english interface If you are interested, mail me (reubold@online.de), and I send you a copy of my program. Thanks for your help, Gerrit Reubold
