Polyglot 1.5w bugfix available!

Post by hgm »

Unfortunately, the new Polyglot that was shipped with the WinBoard Gold Pack turned out to have a bug, :cry: (due to incompatibility between compilers for Windows and Linux). It did not print the PV in the thinking output, but the word 'nodes' in stead.

A bug-fixed version of the executable is now available from WinBoard forum. This is a Cygwin compile from the Polyglot-1.4.w10UCIb13 source files on Michel's website.

The Linux compiles of Polyglot 1.5 have always been OK; the bugfix only applies to Windows.
