Rotor 0.4 released

[Jan Brouwer]

Hi everyone,

I have released Rotor 0.4, it can be found at http://home.hetnet.nl/~f2hjbrouwer120/index.html

Main changes are:
- mobility evaluation added
- king attack batteries added
- quiescence search more selective
- null-move reduction made adaptive

I feel that all basic features of a chess program are now present in this version,
so I am considering a total rewrite from scratch

A special thanks to Jim Ablett for providing the PGO optimized build.

Have fun,

Jan

You just got Ray all excited!
Looking forward to trying out Rotor 0.4 soon. Keep up the good work.

Cheers, Graham.

I'm sure these are cherry picked selected games, Thorsten, but these are interesting anyway.

do you have a complete stats of Rotor 0.4 tests?

[mclane]

3.5 from 13 so far.

but nice cherries.

[Ovyron]

I think those are signals of the potential of the program, I could see Rotor 1.0 near the top, once it plays at that level more regularly.

[Jan Brouwer]

Sorry about that...

Seriously though, this is a real milestone for me, drawing these top programs.
I'll carefully save these games!

Next step will be to win a single game against Rybka 3, anyone willing to play a few hundred games?

[mclane]

rotor is still "running" in the tournament.
i think i have seen a win against spike to...

i will let the computer finish the match and will post the results as soon as possible.

Cool! this makes fun to see. draws against strong programs are the first indicator for good potential, thats true.

let us wait and hope and continue the good work.
