ChestUCI 4.7

[F.Huber]

Hi mate fans,

a new version of Strelka 4.7 is ready.

OOPS, of course I´ve meant ChestUCI 4.7!

This time it has again a new feature which may be important and interesting especially for ´problemists´ - here´s the info from the included decription ´English.txt´:

Code: Select all

7) ´CompleteDuals´: yes / no (Default=no)
   ---------------
With this new option ChestUCI calculates ALL possible duals (i.e.
extra solutions) in EVERY depth of the search-tree, not just the
toplevel-duals for the first key-move of the attacker as usual.
This allows replaying the complete solution-tree with all existing
variants (for the defender however only the optimal, i.e. longest
possible defences are displayed), and so it can easily be checked
whether a solution of a mate-problem is "dualfree" (see the section
"Special features" below on how to step through the solution-tree).
Because this option makes the solution-file much larger and may also
increase the solution-time, it should only be used if really needed.
Moreover ´CompleteDuals´ only makes sense in combination with the
options ´AllSolutions´ and ´FullMovelist´, and should usually only
be used in ´Normal´-mode (i.e. with brute-force search), because any
of the special parameters C/R/K/P/X mostly just calculates a subset
of all possible solution-variants.

As usual you can find ChestUCI 4.7 here:

Thanks Franz for this wonderful update! Oooops, I thought you converted Strelka as a matesolver . as "Cheska-UCI" perhaps.

I'll give a longer time playing with your new gadget with my wooden chessboard as well.

No Denis, I really don´t stand any longer reading about all this XYZka crap ...
