I'd like to find one or a few testers for the new version of Yace.
(Otherwise, there will be a too fast update cycle.)
Perhaps, the problems with winboard are gone away. Please
leave me an email note, and I will send a zipped yace.exe.
Regards, Dieter
News:
Version 0.14
Minor evaluation tweak: Yace shouldn't loose castling rights that easy
anymore. Freepawn are a tiny bit more worth now. Default positional
score is a bit higher now. New command pval:
pval=1.0 [default, old default would have been 0.67]
pval=1.5 [positional scores are higher]
Values between 0.5 and 2.0 are accepted.
To experiment put such a line in yace.ini
etc. Of course no floating point will be used internally
Changed invalid move to Illegal move.
Don't complain about result anymore (but still ignore).
Move ordering enhancements.

I would love to test but currently there are so many new versions of engines up including Francesa,Yace,Golaith and Crafty. I don't think i have the time to give Yace the attention it requires..
BTW does anyone know if the bug in Crafty 1711 is fixed already?
