Little Goliath Gold 2.0 FINAL RELEASE
Michael Borgstaedt has just finished LGG 2.0. It seems to be much stronger
than any other LGG/LG-Engine before, most likely stronger than crafty 16.5.
Absolutly amazing are the bs-problem-solving-results (2574 BS-Elo PII300).
This is more than any other profi-engine behind fritz5.
You will find more infos and the downloadable engine (during the next days)
at www.computerschach.de/forum and .../css199.htm (Homepage/forum of the german
computerchess-magazin CSS).
===============================================================
LITTLE GOLIATH CHESS
(ENGINE FOR FRITZ 5.32 and WINBOARD 4.0.0)
VERSION GOLD 2.0
===============================================================
ABOUT
=====
LITTLE GOLIATH GOLD 2.0 is exclusive available on the CSS (Computer
Schach & Spiele) magazine service disk. The "Gold" version based on
LITTLE GOLIATH (last version 1.41a), but is much tuned (very fast code,
more knowledge, better tactics). Some parts of the commercial GOLIATH
(will be released in spring 1999) are included to give an idea what
the commercial version will offer.
For installation under WINBOARD, please check the documentation which
comes with WINBOARD. For installation under FRITZ 5.32 / NIMZO 99
please check the WINBOARD-REPORT (CSS magazine February 99 edition,
or the CSS homepage http://www.computerschach.de).
If an opening book should be used, LITTLE GOLIATH expects the files
'BOOK.DAT' and 'BOOK.IND' in the same directory. This new opening
is available from the author (spobor@cityweb.de), perhaps in the
nearest future for download on the CSS homepage too.
If you want to use the old books (LBOOK = standard book, or TBOOK =
tournament book), you must rename the files. However, I recommend to
use the new book only.
Fritz/Winboard doesn't offer a dialog to change some of the engine's
options, so you must edit the file GOLIATH.INI for setting hashtable
size, book and playing styles. The default settings perhaps don't
offer the best performance. See the GOLIATH.INI for explanation of
the possible settings.
