KnightX 4.9 engine released

Post by chrjly2 »

KnightX 4.9 engine is released.

v4.9 vs v4.8: +40 Elo
v4.9 vs five 2800-3030 Elo engines: +160 Elo
I bet the elo gain will be less than 160.

Thanks Cristopher. That seems a decent improvement.

KnightX 4.91 engine is released.
This is a bug fix. The static exchange evaluation function (SEE) didn't consider the captures of the king.

v4.91 vs v4.9: +40 Elo
