New release: rofChade 2.202

Post by Ronald »

This release is mainly a bugfix of release 2.2, it also contains a LMR tweak which will add around 10 elo.

The bug: When the search was pondering or in infinite analysis mode, sometimes the search would return a "bestmove" prematurely. This is not correct and some GUI's can not cope with this bug and crash (for instance the Shredder GUI).

The WIndows and Linux versions can be downloaded from http://rofchade.nl/

The Mac and Raspberry Pi versions will be created later..

A big thanks to Gerhard of the cegt team for noticing the bug and helping to find the cause! and a big thanks to all who take interest in rofChade.

Until now (106 games) i have had 2 crashes @ Shredder Classic.
I think my test conditions, without tablebases and without
a "resign-factor", could be the reason. Both times RofChade
stood before a mate in 3 against himself.

The interim result looks good so far, 45% against Ethereal 11.50,
perf=3184 (+80 to version 2.1 x64).

Best wishes,
G.S.
