Nemeton 1 release

[Graham Banks]

I've run three matches at CCRL 40/4 time control to get a rough idea of Nemeton's strength.

8.5-1.5 v CyberPagno 2.2 64-bit
4.0-6.0 v Betsabe II 1.47
3.0-7.0 v Orion 0.2

Looks like a good candidate for my Amateur Division 7.

Thanks Stan.

Update to support the way ChessGUI deals with users own openingbooks.

More cleanups of code so the program shrunk a bit. Minor tweaks but nothing too exciting.
Won't change the versionnumber till I get around to do the evaluation work.

Nemeton 1.1

What's new.:

A quick and dirty attempt to set the evaluationvalues to something more realistic. Atleast it's less materialistic and a bit more aware of activity.
Lots of modest speedups, cleanups and improvements to the code.
Threaded Winboard input means that it can now ponder, interrupt search etc. inside a GUI.
Overhauled ponder implementation itself. From just filling the hashtable to actually interrupting and continuing the search on a ponderhit.

Thanks Stan.
Roughly how much strength do you think you've gained?

Thanks Stan.

Me? I casually work on my chess and my Elo improves steadily. I suppose about 50 Elo a year slowly getting closer to my goal of "expert".

Nemeton? Ponder off, nothing too impressive. 50-100 Elo?
Ponder on vs other engines with ponder on, a bit more than that. With draws against big engines in tests here. Not quite sure yet why that is or how to translate it to ponder off play as well..

Sorry - I meant Nemeton.
Sounds like a nice gain.
