Thanks Engin for the new release....
Is the big book a good quality or is it just a big book

[Engin]

it is generated from master players most up to 2200-2800 elo and about 1.7 million games, limit ply to 60 and minimum of a played move to store in book is set to 3 times.

they are now over 1.2 million moves stored in book.

the book style is set to variety, to play not only the best, and like different from 2 best moves because opening are not boring

wish nice evening,
Engin

Consistent performance - scored above 60's in all the tests.

Although the engine's knowledge on "Undermining", the easiest one of them all, could be improved.

Hi,
I am sorry to disappoint you, but the results for engines you quoted are without (just recently released) STS 7.0...

But according to my tests, your engine has improved indeed, keep up with good work.

Richard

Hi Engin, I have yet to update the results section, but those engines you quoted were not tested on recently released STS 7: Offer of Simplification... those were only tested on first 6 test suites. Notice that there wasn't any column for "Offer of Simplification" in test results section.

For comparison, percentage scored by the engine(s) would give you a good idea.

Still a consistent and good score by the way.
