BugChess2 1.6.4 released !

Post by FrancoisK »

Long time no see :D
As usual, available for download from Leo's site (http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/).

The bug comes with a x64 version (since 1.6.2) and a readme.txt (most important information : use -winboard parameter to use it with Winboard, Arena or any other winboard interface).
Same book as 1.6.3.

Cheers

François
