Hello together,
OliThink has been noticeably improved by an successful implementation of a simple Late Move Reduction (LMR)

PS: I would be thankful for an optimized x64 compile again.
PPS: It's not necessary to replay/replace any running tourneys (e.g. Thanks to Graham), let it play the next division )

Re: OliThink 5.2.6 released introducing LMR
No need to worry about me. The needs of the many easily outweigh the needs of one.
Thanks for the new release Oliver.
For those who've not tried OliThink, it has a nice playing style. You'll enjoy it.

Well written, few eval tricks, but very balanced.
I really like it.

Actually I am very proud of OliThink's playing style. It's a super effective anti-human style. The typical anti-computer tricks do not work with OliThink.
Version 5.x.x has not lost against any human yet. Version 5.2.x hasn't even been drawn against a human.
It just happened, that at ICC a very strong human player (rated > 2600) tried 12 games against OliThink. He was not even close to a draw.
PS: Another thing I am quite proud of: OliThink is the engine that is farest away from being a clone. There is not one single line of code even similar to any other engine, including OliThink 4. It's completely unique.
