Protej 0.5.8

[Brunetti]

Fixed some bugs and tuned a lot of parameters. Still keeps crashing from time to time, and needs endgame knowledge. Anyway, it should have improved of around 200 Elo.

Just released version 0.5.8b, a bugfix: UCI mode has never worked on most GUI's due to the prompt displayed in console mode. Now it works properly (tested in Chessbase and in Arena).
Also added the stop command.

Thanx to Graham's live display of CCRL matches, I've noticed an infamous bug: EP flag wasn't correctly managed when making/unmaking null moves, so opponents' EP recaptures at depth 1 where usually ignored in search, and this happened two times in this very tournament!
Version 0.5.8c fixes the bug.

Please tell me how to set hash size when run in WB mode.

No way. If you need 128 MB, http://protej.info/files/protej058c_128.rar, for other sizes please tell me.

Thanks, Alex, that will do fine.

Thank you for the big test.
