A new version of the Baron (1.0.5) is available from the Baron's Lair. This is a bugfix release, no new functionality is available. I hope there will be a strength increase with this version (I kind of expect it) but I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.
Main changes:
- Solved bugs in SEE. It now correctly handles non-capture promotions (used in evaluation) and captures by kings without significant speed penalty.
- Nullmove reduction error solved. Sometimes the reduction was too little, sometimes too much.
- Hash aging error on ponder misses solved.
The next version of the Baron will probably be released after the tournament of Paderborn.
Have fun with it.
Richard.
