I was having an absolutely awful day, but this post brightened it up considerably. Thanks for the new version, Richard.

Book support

In addition to its own .cbk book format, Critter can now read Polyglot .bin books too. Just set the "Book File" UCI option to point to a *.bin file. Book creation from pgn file ('makebook' and 'mergebook' console commands) works only with native format.

Repetition detection

Critter now scores 2-fold repetition as draw. See this thread on rybka forum.

Enjoy

Richard

Many thanks! FWIW, I'm a fan.

Thanks Richard.

I had to put Critter on my flash drive because that is where I have the GTBs. It seems that Critter will only use GTBs if they are on the same drive.

thanks a lot, i hope the style didn't change. critter is my favourite engine

Can you describe the playing style of Critter? I can't seem to figure its style out yet...
