Hola Fermin,

Congratulations for the new and improved Rodin.

OTOH, are you still planning to develop a human-like chess engine? I think that would be very interesting, even if it is less strong than Rodin.
Something in the style of Chess System Tal would be nice.

Hello Carlos,

Actually I have deceided to stop programming until 1th October. Meanwhile I am going to note ideas and new features, think on them and a little rest. After that I will continue programming Rodin. One of those ideas is trying to make another human-like engine, but I have same difficulties: what is human-like, how to implement it, ..... I will think on all this things until October.

Any idea will be wellcome

Anyway Rodin v3.0 has a "skill" command which let you reduce the strenght of Rodin and it is quite human-like. It is based on an idea of Prf. Hyatt. Try it, i.e. setting skill initially to 10%. I think you will like it.

Best regards,
Fermin
