OBender 3.29a by Evgeniy Korniloff

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello chessfriends,

on the URL http://evgeniy-korniloff.narod.ru/download.html the version
3.29a is shown, but when this folder is opened you can see 3.28a
from 11th September 2008. Just a typo or really the new 3.29a version
of OBender (former: QChess)? What is your opinion about that?

Best wishes,
Norbert

It's just a misnamed folder in the zip file for 3.2.9a. I have both 3.2.8a (Sept. 11 compile) and 3.2.9a (Sept. 12 compile), and although the .exe files are exactly the same size, a binary compare shows that they are not the same.

Funny thing is, the readme file in both says 3.2.5a. It's always a bit tricky to figure out exactly what version of OBender you're dealing with. It would be nice if he added feature myname="OBender x.y.z" when a protover 2 command is issued.
