The last release had a serious bug that prevented Prédateur from checkmating its opponents or see the checkmates. Its strength was thus severely severed. I'm sorry for those of you who bothered testing it. I took more time to test this one in depth before releasing it.
This is actually not a bugfix version only. Here is a list of the changes :
- added a special time manager to handle 1) games with no time increment 2) grumpy testers
- fixed an horrible bug in the checkmate handling
- a first try with null-move (verified null-move)
- total hash default size reduced to 64Mb (48 main + 16 quiesce). You can change those default sizes in the uci options.
Download the fix on the blog.

This version is, as far as I could test, fully functionnal, but you shouldn't bother testing it if you consider including it in your Elo lists as I'm about to release a new one with futility pruning and razoring turned on. Maybe tomorrow or the day after.

Re: Prédateur 0.1.4r2 bugfixed
You're welcome.
i feel a bit ashamed that Le Fou Numérique (and some others) did lose time with rating the buggy 0.1.4 r1, so I now prefer to save people some time. I'll take a slower pace after the next release.
