One improvement which is also visible in the matches is that it now better understands when to move the king-shielding pawns forward. This is the result of having separate midgame and endgame pawn-shield scores. I am not a chess expert, but to me the games are becoming more and more interesting
Btw, the binary is build using Java 10.

Awesome! One of my favorite engines that will probably promote to the Super League next season

Thanks Sander,
can you please describe how to install your engine inside the Shredder GUI?
best wishes

Hi Werner,
This is how I do it. Create a .eng file which contains the following lines:
[ENGINE]
Of course you have to use your own java path and the path to your chess22k jar file.

Installation in Arena was easier, as you can use a start.bat containing
java -Xmx512M -jar chess22k-1.11.jar uci
Using Arena you could just select the .jar file

Apparently that improvement manifests itself in the results too.
