Doch 09.980 (uci) by Don Dailey

Windows x64/win32 Intel compiler 11/10 pgo builds
plus 64 bit Linux compile (by Don) included.


From Readme >
Doch is a 64 bit chess program developed by Don Dailey with help from
Grandmaster Larry Kaufman in an advisory role. It's currently under
fairly heavy development and is in a primitive, but now fairly usable
state.

Doch depends on a UCI based user interface. The command line options
are mostly non-functional and/or temporary so experiment at your own
risk!

The strength of doch is unknown, as it has not been rated by any of
the popular rating agencies. Some 64 bit programs have been optimized
to run relatively well on 32 bit platforms, but no work has been done
in this area so far for doch.

Special thank are in order for Jim Ablett who produced fast windows
executables for doch and promotes computer chess in general.

Also, much credit goes to the authors of open source chess programs.
Many of the ideas and techniques for doch have been borrowed from
these wonderful works of art.

At this time doch is not available as source code. It is distributed
free for private use but it is forbidden to use doch in chess
competitions without the authors consent.

Many thanks Don!

Small cosmetic fix.

64 bit windows compile was showing version string 'Doch32' instead of 'Doch64'

I tried running some matches with the x64 version, but I get crashes with Doch under the Shredder 12 GUI

Thanks for the info Ray.

I'll run some tests and hopefully find out what's wrong.

Ray will try it under the Shredder 11 GUI.
I found problems running an engine under Shredder 12, but it was fine under Shredder 11.

I don't expect it to be any different under Shredder 11 GUI, but let's see. I have not had any crashes under Shredder 12 GUI so far with other engines, it is as reliable as S11 .

I've got further with S11 GUI than I did with S12 GUI, so far so good, but early days. Fingers crossed my matches under S11 will continue, and it is just specifically an S12/Doch issue
