Matefinder Compiles

[jhellis3]

I discovered today that a popular site for stockfish and matefinder compiles is actually shipping old/outdated code instead of what I maintain in my branch.

Thus, I will start providing a basic compile for people who are incapable or unwilling to compile matefinder on their own.

I will also start adding a bench number to my periodic merges and rare updates, so that people can verify their build is authentic should they so desire.

You can also download the latest executable by clicking on "releases" on my github page.

Great news! I will test if there finally is progress after 2016 december version (mate solving).

Hi Joseph Ellis: is depth to mate syzygy on the implementation agenda?

Matefinder + dtm syzygy suit the engine.

Even if latest version is 5% faster than 2016 december version it is worse in finding (shortest) mate from Chest database. BTW what is clean search meaning?

Hi Joseph,

Any chance you can add a non-popcnt compile, for those who have an old processor ?

[Jouni]

I would prefer BMI compile and shorter name like "SF Matefinder".

I can do that, but I draw the line there... no 32bit exes. I will add the exe to the release on github when I get a chance.
