Thank you for your question. Yes, the engine named random64 is a pure random mover, based on Alouette code.CMCanavessi wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 3:57 am Roland, I downloaded Alouette 0.0.9 and there are 2 binaries inside the zip file, alouette64 and random64. What is random64, a random mover? So kind of the same engine without eval?
Alouette 0.0.1

Alouette 0.1.5
Alouette 0.1.5 is available.
I spent time polishing the code, and trying to improve the evaluation (apparently to little effect).
More importantly, I discovered and fixed two bugs related to castling, which produced illegal moves in certain situations.
Linux and Windows binaries are available here.

Hi Roland,
Does your engine support time controls now? Previous version moved instantly.

Hi Gabor. Unfortunately it doesn't. It still moves instantly. I cannot change that for now. But I am thinking to that...Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 1:20 pm Does your engine support time controls now? Previous version moved instantly.

Re: Alouette 0.0.1
I have completed my test tournament for version 0.1.5. Results will be included in the next update.
In my opinion even a very basic time control could improve results by several hundred Elos.

By the way, I discovered this morning that Alouette is now included in LucasChess. I am very glad.

Re: Alouette 0.0.1
I have just discovered that Fimbulwinter used to have no time control but later Jim Ablett added it. Perhaps you can use that.Roland Chastain wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 10:39 pmOK, I will try something.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 5:13 pm In my opinion even a very basic time control could improve results by several hundred Elos.![]()

Alouette 0.1.6
Alouette 0.1.6 is available.
I fixed a bug which made the engine play illegal move. I also found the reason that made the engine crash sometimes under Windows. It should no longer happen. Thanks to Carlos who reported the issue.
If it is confirmed that the engine is now stable and doesn't play illegal moves, I will try seriously to improve the strength.
