SCP 1.0d update

Post by Jim Ablett »

I've managed to fix most of the bugs in my Winboard version of SCP.

You can get it here - includes source.

Description
---------------

SCP 1.0d (winboard version) by John Stanback

The original program and src by John Stanback was released in 1993.
This program served as the basis for the original 'GnuChess' engine.

Initial (too buggy & unstable) release with winboard support (1.0b) was
withdrawn about 8 months ago. Re-released now with many bugfixes.

* numerous bugfixes (castling - promotion - time control )
* winboard support improved (resign - draw offer - ics added).
* opening book expanded with many more openings.

*NOTE - only tournament time control (x moves in x minutes)
implemented currently.

Jim, I can no longer access the changes file for Typhoon. Is there any way you can tell us what are the changes in new versions?

Hi Tony,

I don't know either :D

I'll ask Scott!

Also if you downloaded SCP immediately after I posted the link, re-download it - there was a problem with that build.

Regards,
Jim.

I didnt download it, two reasons.
1) I have Zarkov
2) It doesnt play incremental time controls.
