Devre 5.0 (second compiles, maybe a bugfix)
by Ömer Faruk Tutkun (Turkey)

But the first compiles runs fine with mingw *.dll files!

mingw is the topic?!

Chess.cpp runs fine with mingw files!
v4.0 since a while available and it seems a TOP-25-30 engine.
I found the engine in Graham's great tourneys.

https://github.com/GediminasMasaitis/ch ... p/releases

Thanks Graham!


With the *.dll files in the same directory or Windows system directory ...
