OpenTal 1.1

[PK]

Is available at http://www.pkoziol.cal24.pl/opental/

Evaluation function has not changed, so you get the same wild play as usual.

Program's name does not contain slashes any more, and a bit less of debug info will be displayed. Perhaps it will help with Fritz GUI, I don't know for sure.

There is one search improvement, namely singular extension, which may improve tactical vision whenever there is just one good move.

And there is one important usability improvement - namely multi-pv search, up to 12 lines.

Sadly I cannot provide version for Windows-XP any more, and the same goes for Rodent - usually I did this using MSVC 2010, and current codebase is written in C-14, which is a newer standard.

Enjoy!

The damned thing is already crushing me and now you made him stronger! Time to hit the books

Thanks! Wished more engine developers added such features currently missing in lots of engines

It's "stronger" by 5-10 Elo only. I basically needed to copy recent Rodent search in extenso, because introducing multi-pv changes one by one would take much longer. Singular extension just sat there, waiting.

Only 5-10 elo!! Is the same as an extra bullet in the gun when playing this monster. Good thing my book knowledge is pretty vast, so I get an edge out of most openings. Not that doing so helps in 98% of the games! Thanks for all your hard work. For analysis I use the top engines, but for playing, these types of engines cannot be beat. IMHO

MultiPV with OpenTal? Analysis of my games just got very interesting!

Thanks Pawel!

I has problems with 1.0 loading book, but 1.1 runs fine. No issues, I am using the Shredder GUI. Thank You.

[Damir]

Thanks Pawel for this new version. You are doing amazing work so far.

Imagen how I feel NOT knowing almost nothing of openings, I never had the will to such an arid thing as studying that stuff, so...I am lost almost at the second move.

Tal laugh at me regards

King..Wasp Prodeo Nimzo..Zappa Brutus and Boot etc...Rodent and OpenTal testing on hold until hardware upgrade later in 2018.. AR
