Milos, I am having problems when trying and load the engine on Playchess server. It will not load. I am using BMI2 version of your engine. I hope you can fix the problem.

hi damir, thank you for your interest. unfortunately i don't have any experience with Playchess server, maybe using an older version will help.

An initial version that is ~3000 elo!
How long have you been working on this project?

i've started to work on it 8 months ago. one thing helped a lot, i have a spare 6 core machine i used to run tests 24/7.

Congrats, is a very promising project, although I haven't been able to prove it.

thank you for your interest, and sorry for the trouble.
for the next release, i'll try to make binaries for older hardware as well. at the moment, there is some inline assembly and also usage of xmm registers. i have to port that over, but in the same time be sure this isn't going to hurt the performance much.
