Subject: New version of GromitChess

Hi GromitChess user!

GromitChess 2.12 is now available at
http://home.t-online.de/home/hobblefrank/index.htm

(Executables for Windows, Linux and Solaris)

Changes mainly affected the engine, the XBoard/Winboard-interface
is almost unchanged. Please note that the size of hashtableentries
increased from 12 to 16 byte. Some possible values for
TRANSPOSITIONSIZE (see eval.cfg) are:

TRANSPOSITIONSIZE	hashtablesize (MB)
18			 4
19			 8
20			16
21			32
22			64

and for the pawnhashtable:
PAWNHASHSIZE		pawnhashtablesize (MB)
16			 0.5
17			 1
18			 2
19			 4
(more doesn't make sense)

Compared to version 2.11 there were many minor enhancements to
the engine (moveordering, kingsafety, bugfixes). However, I'm
afraid this version is only a small step forward.

Thank you for testing GromitChess and have fun doing it,

Frank Schneider
