Critter 0.70 is out

[Christian Goralski]

Hi Richard,

thank you very much for Critter 0.70 release!

Maybe you can answer same questions:

max. Hashtable Size: 1024 MB?
can`t see any TBs Hits in thinking window of the engine with Gaviota TBs
GTB Path under Engine Parameter: I:\gtb on a fast USB Stick
can`t see any difference here with GTB Usage "only at the root" or "Everywhere"

max. Hashtable Size: 1024 MB?

Yes, for historical reasons... In 32 bit world it is the largest practical value,
and I forgot to increase this limit in 64bit build. Now it is too late to remedy, but take my word for it that in the next Critter this limit will be removed.

can`t see any TBs Hits in thinking window of the engine with Gaviota TBs
GTB Path under Engine Parameter: I:\gtb on a fast USB Stick
can`t see any difference here with GTB Usage "only at the root" or "Everywhere"

I have already got a couple of e-mails on this issue. Until today I did not know about UCI info string "tbhits"
For now, the only tb-hit indicator is the flashing LED on your disk-drive.
Please wait for the next release, i will fix this too.

Thanks, Richard.

Could you please upload the file into some other host. Mediafire keeps the "loading" status indefinitedly.

Critter 0.70

Strength:

In direct match against Critter 0.60 it is nearly 100 elo stronger.
It performs quite good against Komodo, Naum, even Shredder, but still gets eaten alive by Stockfish (especially in endgames).

Enjoy,

Richard

0.70 looks to me like an IvanHoe-Brother, no doubt!
