Tornado 4.3 updated

Post by Engin »

yes, i know, Tornado again ;)

but i found a really important EP bug that must be fixed, i worked around 3 days to find this bad bug, and found that the killer moves are didnt works in search that was fixed too.

and other changes in limit strength that moving to fast, is now changed to using exact time what is set on the clock, i know that is wasted time to wait for the move, but that dont makes me nervous if is not moving fast ;).

on the full playing strength i dont think any difference...maybe slightly

Hi Engin,
I will continue my matches with the new version (200 games played with 4.25) and I hope version 4.30 will socre as good as 4.25 did.
I will put the results together under the new name.

best wishes
Werner

Hi Werner,

same here ...
At the moment 275 SWCR games played with 4.25.
Around 80 ELO + to version 3.6.7 at the moment!

I can't delete the played Tornado games again. This I do before version 4.25 come out. A newer Tornado version have to wait around up to February 2011 or my still running SWCR-64 is a endless tourney. But so far I have a lot of fun with version 4.25, very very strong.

I think around 40 ELO more and Engin create a TOP-25 program!

Very nice middlegame, hold the middlegames vs. much stronger engines. King safty is better as in version 3.6.7. Endgame isn't bad too ... very nice improvments.

My congratultion to the programmer!

Best
Frank
