I have a feeling that this version is not a legitimate one Bernardo.

Doc,

On behalf of the Toga team, let me answer again your inquiry and add some important infos for you and others concerned:

Toga 3.1.2SE MP is not a recognized official Toga engine released last January'08 by an unknown source. Many users liked it because it still has Multi-pv enabled. Multi-pv option was disabled starting with Toga 1.4 beta5c to favor the much improved MP implementation by Thomas.

It was based on the older Toga 1.4 beta4a (old MP version but not publicly released) with 3.1.2SE modifications. Yet it plays well like the latest Togas. Using Winmerge, it will be easy enough to see the difference on the codes.

The latest official version is Toga 1.4 beta 5c (from Thomas Gaksch) and the latest development has reached beta7.
The last released SE (Special Edition) version is Toga 1.4.1SE (by Chris Formula) with latest development at 1.4.1SE12.
The latest JD (Jerry Donald) version is Toga 1.4.3JD beta with latest development at 1.4.3JD beta4.
Other Togas being developed were the LearningToga, and Toga 1.4 beta5 series by William Mowery Jr. - not released yet.
Because of this continuous development, only a few will be allowed to test these beta builds till we see a determined improvement. Releasing beta versions publicly is just an option of the author.

Since 3.1.2SE MP is unofficial, there is no fixed location to get it.
But you can have additional infos if you type 'Toga 3.1.2 SE MP' in the Google search box.

The nearest stable/improved version of 3.1.2SE MP are his big brothers 1.4.1SE and 1.4.2JD. My advice is just use the latest versions and visit the official sites. CCRL forum hosts the SE/JD releases and Superchessengine.com for Thomas' builds.

With regard to special engine settings, there's no known strongest setting yet except the default. Though there was a setting made by Eduard Nemeth that plays well against Rybka (VS=4, TLEM=225) as reported. Eelco de Groot was also known to discover some promising settings.

There are other recognized releases like Toga CMLX series by Teemu Pudas which can play Chess960. Google it at Rybkaforum. Other special Toga Checkov versions by Eelco de Groot can be found also at CCRL forum. There maybe others hiding somewhere, but it is in your own perusal.

I hope this long 'wordy' narration helped.

It helped me so much that my IQ increased by 1 point and its at an all time high of '1' point. I know that the wordy referance was due to me saying something a while ago, it wasnt meant to be offensive.

It was actually one vocabulary word I liked to use more often on my part after you mentioned it. No offence too

Why is it not legitimate? Is it provided without sources? Does it break the GPL?
