Averno 0.70 CCT6 in my web site

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Jose Carlos at 04 February 2004 01:06:12:

I've uploaded to my web site Averno 0.70, the version that played in CCT6, along with a new book, the book also used in that tournament.
I had to recompile to change some default parameters, so please if you experience any problem drop me an email and I'll fix it ASAP.
Anyone interested in serious beta testing email me. I mean not just doing a tournament or two with the program. I mean doing a serious and hard work including:
- Comparing many experimental versions in lots of games
- Comparing many experimental versions in test sets
- Searching for bugs or situations where the engine crashes
- Searching for positions the program does not understand correctly
- Searching for tactical mistakes
- Evaluating the efficiency of book learning
...
I know that's a lot of work.
To be truth I don't expect even 1 person volunteering to do it.
The good side is for people who likes to collect rare and unreleased versions of programs.

Hello José,
just wanted to ask if the version is completely identical to that I got. Tournament begins tomorrow. Good luck in this strong field (see post following soon).
Anyone interested in nice tactical shots and decent much improved play should apply for betatesting. I can only confirm that it is a lot of fun to see those games. Maybe not any sac proves to be correct, but I like the style a lot. And I hope that you will not only be bugged by those "collectors", promising tests and then you do not receive anything in return and never again hear from them.
Best Regards
Heinz

They're almos identical. Not worth downloading it for you as I only changed some default parameters (mostly related to memory usage) that you probably set in your per file. You won't see any difference in playing at all.
Thanks for your kind words.
