Thinker 5.2K is released....

Post by Dr.Wael Deeb »

_Fixed the incorrect lazy evaluation.
_Made the node splits optional in parallel search versions (enabled _through the "splitnodes=1" command-line option).
_Fixed the processor detection in parallel search versions.
_Fixed the issue with running on Windows 2000.
_Fixed the slow load time in Linux Wine.
_No one can hit as hard as life.But it ain’t about how hard you can hit.It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.How much you can take and keep moving forward….

An engine missing the most important analysis mode
is worthless for me.

I do agree about this, it's very interesting playingwise but worthless since it's impossible to get any information out of it.

The author had elaborated several times here in the forum regarding this issue....he has nothing to hide,it's just that the current architecture of the engine doesn't allow the analysing feature to work probably....simple as that :!:
