New engine: Clover

[Gabor Szots]

I think, the compiles are still not perfect. They run on a new processor with bmi2 and avx2, but crash at once on a processor with only popcount and avx.

Werner, you might try this one, made for older 64-bit processors. About 15 % slower than the BMI2 compile.

Clover chess engine has a new logo !

Oh, I forgot the -static switch. Here is one that does not require DLL's.

I fixed the transposition table size overflow bug (entirely this time) and updated the .exes.

I have updated my compile but kept the previous one as well in case something has gone wrong with the fix. The new one is called 2.1.2a.

The link:

However, 'official' compiles for different platforms would be welcomed. Also, maybe the fixes should go under different names, e.g. 2.1.2.1. Third, please update not only the master.

[lucametehau]

I will try to add compiles for different platform. Also, I thought that such small fixes don't need a different name that's why I didn't change it. I have also updated the release code (Clover.2.1.2.zip)

[lucametehau]

Created another release with all codes updated and added different platform compiles. If there are more compiles I should add don't hesitate to tell me.

In the name of love, Gabor, no! Point releases, yes - but please do not even suggest such evil extended versioning schemes!
