[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Yesterday Skiull 0.4 x64 was available, but today this edition disappeared. I wrote an email to Tony, but can send to you this version of course.

Abbess 2018.02.07

Zevra 1.8.3 r636

Zevra is already on 1.8.4 for a while

[tpoppins]

Yes! It's like a litttle Christmas every time for the bored ppl running rating lists. Instead of testing same-old-same-old for months at a time there's something new and fresh every day. Simply wonderful.

I don't think I have seen the newest version of Hedgehog (1.804) mentioned here.

Detroid 0.9 released 10 days ago

https://github.com/ViktorC/DETROID/releases

A few infos:
- it has a working own GUI now, but with the command -u it still can play under any GUI (sth like this: 'java -jar Detroid09.jar -u')
- Here at least the java.exe uses around 750MB despite being set to 256MB in the uci options/GUI
- setting ownbook to false works correctly in the uci options
- it still spikes up to 75% cpu usage in the beginning (= 3 threads) of the game sometimes, but it does not happen often later in the game (when 1 thread is specified)

Last not least it was released as version 0.9, but it calls itself 1.0 and the jar file also is named 1.0.

New engine, Pleco:

http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/discuss ... 26e0bf5821

Well the readme says it is inspired by Stockfish, which is no problem in itself...
...but if one looks at the eval it seems almost just being copied over from SF w/o mentioning a word about the origin of the source.

IMHO that is not koscher.

just an example:
