Hi Mark

Yes, looks like Vajolet has been improvement a lot since last freeware version available. In Italy tournament we saw that Vajolet played very well and could get more points. It remained in high mid table of tournament during it. I think we will see great improvements of this engine in future

vajolet 1.62 shares only the name with vajolet 0.4.7

the new vajolet is a c++ project ( the old one was c#) with magic bitboard, an improved search algorithm and a very basic evalutation function.

I'm now rewriting the evalutation from scratch. Vajolet 1.62 evalutation function is an enanched version of cpw evalutation function.
