It has a brother!
An Explorer Pro bought in a physical shop (an accomplishment these days). I don't like the design, but the screen is marvellous. Any idea why NPS doesn't go up in endgame? I am suspecting a series of random numbers
Collection is going well, two programmers already! But Richard Lang, pretty expensive. So I think I'm going to stop here.

Salut Fabien,
Ton retour dans la communauté des programmes d'échecs nous enchante tous
Merci d'offrir à notre communauté un nouveau module d'échecs, qui plus est, très fort
Bonne continuation dans le développement de Senpai qui je l'espère ira titiller les cadors tels que Houdini, Komodo, et Stockfish
Amicalement,
Jamal

Thanks Miguel. That worked!

Two questions for you!
1) How do you pronounce "Senpai"? is it:
Sen-pay
Sen-pie
Sen-pee
2) How come you've decided to go open-source rather than closed source?

1) Sen-pie.
2) Same reason as in 2005, I want to show that there is no need to rely exclusively on ideas from others in order to build a strong program. Originality does not imply mediocrity.

I took a quick glance at your source. Very cool and original program. Nice to have some diversity in the gene pool.

Hello Fabien,
a pleasure to get you back. Any chance you will implement Multi PV in the near future?
Thanks!

What I find particularly impressive (perhaps you can say something about this) is that the different weights and parameters all look "reasonable" but they don't look like they have been tuned to death. Is this correct?
