The avx2 binary is much stronger than the BMI one. Hopefully you didn’t use that one? I may have to remove them from the release.

Popcount only for all of them.

I think Graham's hardware doesn't support AVX instructions so that's not really an option. I believe he's using my core2 binary, unless I'm mistaken, which relies on SSE instructions for some limited acceleration and is probably a fair bit faster than a truly generic binary (though basically every CPU in the last ~2 decades supports SSE afaik). Does your BMI binary rely on SSE instructions?

There’s also a sse binary. The basic binary doesn’t even use popcnt. I suspect this will be a long tournament for toga III.

Ahh. That's unfortunate. Not distributing a basic binary might make some sense then.

I think that engines should be released with non-popcount, popcount, and bmi2 exes at least.
