Thanks again testing Mayhem!

49% score ~2800 Elo performance is excellent against strong opponent!

Mayhem 2.9 is the strongest Mayhem just like I wondered. Lots of bugs were fixed. Mayhem uses RAM optimally. Only underpromotion to N+ is allowed in trees. LMR + Null move are now super aggressive. Pawns 6+7the ranks are studied carefully. Mayhem is searching pretty deep. Especially endgame problems were fixed. Tho there are still problems with EG. Not perfect. In search there's probably easy +200 Elo to grab.

Actually in my tests Mayhem 2.9 was a total beast.
OliThink, Velvet, and co won't have a good time with Mayhem 2.9 :lol:
