Introducing Igel chess engine

[bastiball]

Hello bastiball,

Mr. Igel

The compile I tried and it's just 3mb
https://file.io/8dgardQITy5b

I compiled it using visual studio 2019

and here's the image of the uci option

If you want to benefit from the most optimised build you need to use gcc with option -march=native as it will generate code optimized for your CPU. The build instructions are available on github page, so basically the steps are:

1. Download and install GCC
2. Follow gcc build instructions on https://github.com/vshcherbyna/igel#compiling

Hello, Mr. Voffka
Is there for Windows for GCC? I can't find one

But I download MSYS2 and Cygwin

Igel 3.00 is playing very strong at TCEC, I also wonder how much stronger is TCEC hardware than Larry Kaufman super system ?

Thanks, I was waiting anxious to see the results from the first rating list. I am relief to see it is consistent with my regression testing which used only Igel 2.9.0.

Unfortunately the version currently playing in TCEC is not 3.0.0 but a weaker one (probably 40 elo less).

Which version should i use for my intel i7 4770 3.40GHz, such as AVX2, BM12 etc... and which GUI do you recommend me using, I do NOT believe that Arena is too stable

P.S. I don't use any GUI, always cutechess-cli (command line).

Igel 3.0.0 compile for Intel silvermont architecture is provided to bastiball over PM.

Igel 3.0.0 works very well in my test !
