Does not seem that it is MP yet. I guess Lokasoft does not carry any MP engines as of yet
Nice to see the flurry of new engines around this time
SmarThink 1.20 is the new version of this well-known Russian engine. More than a year was spent on improving the SmarThink algorithms which brings the engine to the list of the world-top engines again. There are no human or software players in the world that are completely invulnerable to the SmarThink attacks. SmarThink has an interesting attacking style especially in pawn endings.
The author expects this version to be 60-70 points stronger than version 1.10 (Moscow).

How about making 1.00 freeware (like Rybka)? It will be then able to enter my tournament. (Where currently the old and buggy 0.17a represents Smarthink). Just an idea.
Best,
Kirill

Re: New SmarThink 1.20
Might as well have called it SmarThink 2.0 to make it easier for people to see that it is a significant upgrade, whereas 1.20 might make people think it's just a bugfix release.

Re: New SmarThink 1.20
When I started at the beginning of 2000s, my versions was 0.02, 0.03 and so on. The idea was that 1.0 must be the World championLeto wrote:Might as well have called it SmarThink 2.0 to make it easier for people to see that it is a significant upgrade, whereas 1.20 might make people think it's just a bugfix release.
But I changed this idea and 1.0 was my first commertial release.
So, I hope 2.0 will be the World champion

My sources needs to be refined in the case of release... I think 1.00 sources looks really bad bacause of my old programming style.
