New engine releases & news 2021

Ronja 0.9.0 has been released:

https://github.com/dykstrom/ronja/relea ... onja-0.9.0

Unfortunately this does not work for me using Arena. I installed it via copying version 0.8.2 with which I had no problem. Now after each book move it restarts then does not move.
Once I had the same problem with Eubos and the author (Chris Bolt) fixed it.

Java 17 is needed. It works fine under winboard.

Thanks, it works now.

Anyone knows who is hiding behind that name?

Nope, the author wants to remain anonymous (= no entry in the chronology).
See my issue #1 at github, because I was following it (and Lunatic) already for months.

Thanks. I'm going to treat it as a private engine then.

Belofte 2.1.5 released. Should improve on 2.1.3 and 2.1.4.

See this thread for more info.

Hi Yves, the repo compiles into Belofte 2.1.6 (u). I guess that is not the same as 2.1.5.

Hi Gabor,

It is almost the same, except for the version number. I actually made 3 distinct errors. 1) I merged the belofte-next into the master branch, 2) I gave the wrong comment (version bump to 2.1.5 instead of 2.1.6), 3) I deleted the next branch....

You can get the release by checking out the release-2.1.5 tag but you can just continue to use the 2.1.6 version. It should be exactly the same as 2.1.5 except for the version number and some updated version references in the documentation and test scripts.

Question, I compiled the windows 64 binaries with gcc 11.2.1 and published it in the files section. Except if you use clang 12 or up, it should be a pretty fast release. How is your compile running with the --bench parameter compared to my published exe?

Your 2.1.5(u): bench Perft Time: 2.982 Nodes: 8470712 Total N.: 8870156 NPS: 2973887

My 2.1.6(u): bench Perft Time: 2.976 Nodes: 8470712 Total N.: 8870156 NPS: 2980059

So practically the same. BTW, I use gcc 11.2.0.
