[booot]

Here is bugfixed version of my engine. I have made big delay between releases, so i forget how to make stable programs, sorry

No changes in engine logics, only fix some uci routines that made engine crash in x32 mode and pondering.

Thank you Alex for releasing this new Booot version.

Your engine is really strong in Endgames !!

Code: Select all

   6 SmarThink 1.96 SSE4 x64          :  2905.60    838    60.0  241   523    74   502.5   62.4  13.62  2833.39  14.85   47.4
  25 Booot 5.2.0 x64                  :  2828.92    728    49.9  131   465   132   363.5   63.9  13.81  2829.50  14.82   47.4

Endgame move stats ... games with 100-299 moves!

Please not looking on Elo only ... engine with a high move average (normely with extrem contempt) avaid draw in the beginning, more games goes in endgame and in endgame we have more draw games ... Elo will be higher in endgames from engines avoids draw in the beginning.

Good examples:
Houdini, DiscoCheck ... extrem contempt!

But Quazar, Booot and SmarThink ... I am sure the endgame strength is real without such tricky settings. This Group of engines have a very high move average without resign mode. Again ... I believe the endgame strength is real.

Could be very interesting in my list if Booot is running ...
Place 6 is to kill ...

I am thinking that the russian programs have the good and old russian style.

Quazar was a promising engine indeed ...

Frank, have you got any news from Dmitriy Mozorov, Quazar 's programmer ?

I wanted to contact him about a bug in Quazar.

It doesn't recognize in endgame that sole opposite bishop of promotion square of -h or -a column against sole opponent king is draw.

It has a tendancy to enter into this endgame thinking is completely winning (we can notice it in its evaluation)

[Frank Quisinsky]

Jamal,

no, never I had contacts with him by mail or slow mail!

I hope Booot will be stronger in next versions and not only in endgames

For our 5'+3" list with Ponder=ON we will of course use version 6.0.2

Or the one which is actual then...
