Hi there,

also interesting to newer releases are the Open-Bench / Framework sites:
I believe the first one is from the Ethereal programmer Andrew Grant.

Not sure if complete ...

Just for information:

Andrew Grant / chesscom sent the new Torch 4 to some testers (including myself) - thanks. Testrun started. Result in 4 days from now, if all works as expected.

Should be okay. I ran a few games with no issues.

Good afternoon,
Would it be possible to get the Yuliana 7.0 engine compiled in SSE41 or SSe3? I would be very grateful, as I'm curious to try this engine.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
