The following is from the read me included with the engine :
User Features in Full Release
The Beta releases are missing several features which will be present in the full
release. These features are related to user friendliness and have no effect on
practical playing strength, so it is appropriate for Rybka 1.0 Beta versions to
represent Rybka 1.0 in rating lists. These features include:
1) Full support of UCI protocol ("go nodes", "go mate", "go searchmoves", etc)
2) Multi-variation mode
3) Tablebase support (I should say that it is only my personal opinion that
tablebases are not a playing strength feature - others may disagree)
4) Proper handling and reporting of mates
Question 1. Is, with the implementation of 3) and 4) will this fix the endgame
problems discussed here or will it require more work by Vasik and therefore will
not be fixed in the official release later this month.
Question 2. Once the endgame problems are fixed, will this improve the strength
of the engine.
Maybe only Vasik can answer with any certainty.
Perhaps we will know more nearer time of release.
Regards
Mike
