What are you talking about?
It seems to me that the author is pretty happy with where Patricia is right now and hungry to make it even better (in features! not Elo necessarily).
If you don't like that, stick to Stockfish.
I wrote so on the forum " I think there are still many things that the programmer needs to improve in his program, although the depth during the game is very poor ". One gentleman wrote me on the forum that I behaved not nicely and with a lack of culture regarding the author of the engine.
It's ok, don't worry; I know there are many places to improve Patricia, and I will do it as much as I can! It just takes some time, that's all
I think its a GREAT idea to make Patricia „human mode“ especially for weaker player from 1500 - 200 Elo. You can hardly find an engine you can set to 1500 Elo that plays really weak like a 1500 Elo player - most engines play like a 2000 Elo player!
I also think that a hardcodes gambit book - you can set „yes or no“ in the uci settings is a GREAT idea - it make Particia even more UNIQUE!

I second that with the gambit book idea. Rebel still carries a gambit book in MVS format which Fritzy can import, but the lines are older. I would like to see ALL the latest wacko gambit lines imaginable. The programmer only has so much time, and he is not getting paid for it.

Hold on, I messed something up significantly and this version of Patricia on Github is way older than the one I thought it was. Release is deleted for now.

It's back! This is what happens when you don't use git pull often enough; I made Patricia's final release changes on one of my computers, noticed a bug, fixed it on my other computer, committed it, and it turns out that the Patricia on my other computer was an old one and 300 lines of code got overwritten.
The release should be updated with the correct exes and source code now.

Thanks for your hard work mate. Following with great interest.
