Looks like Booot is the strongest Pascal based program in the world, surpassing Delfi.

[Frank Quisinsky]

Dann,

unfortunately ...
And don't understant the ponder mode

A chess program without ponder ...
This is compare to an other kind of chess, like fischer random chess.

I hope that the strong fraction of NON ponder engines, like ...

01. Bison (engine crasht often in playing with ponder = on)
02. Umko (ponder not possible)
03. GullChess (ponder not possible, ponder = on tournament crasht)
04. Boot (ponder not possible)
05. Chronos (ponder not possible)

will updated in one of the next releases with a ponder mode. That would be great !!

Best
Frank

[Frank Quisinsky]

Dann,

do you believe that Umko, Bison and GullChess are clones? In different messages is to read that the programmers cloning Fruit, others ...

Booot climbs up to position 19 from position 28-29 with the 5.0.0 version (now 2924 in CCRL 40/40 1CPU), showing an improvement of 116 ELO points regarding the 4.15.1 version, 8 ELO points behind Grapefruit and 42 ELO points ahead Bright.

I hope we will see soon a 64-bit version, maybe it would be even a bit stronger.
