this is my first version with lazy smp code. despite lot of works and debugging the new version is probably ony few Elo point stronger.
in the zip you could find a 64 bit executable, a 32 bit executable and old 64bit version compiled for Gabor Szots
you can download it at

Can anyone tell me about the 'character' of this engine? Whether its a gentleman (gentlewoman?) or its a Drunken Monkey that is chased/bitten by bees?
In other words is it positional or tactical?
I know that many of you may shake your heads in despair at my question but I need to ask it before I start my friendship with Vajolet.
(To make it point blank will it squeeze one ball or both -

if you like I could create some native linux build.
No need for myself. I run everything under Arena 3.5 using Wine, so a windows executable is actually more convenient than a linux build.
Very strong engine, btw. Good work.

Thanks for the answer @GB! I take that as "It's good however you must see for yourself but do tell us what it did" (wink wink!). OK I'll get my hands dirty and report soon!

It has an enterprising style of play.

Where can I find the source? I would like to include Vajolet in FOSCEC Season 3.
