[cetormenter]

With school coming up soon I will not be able to work on my engine as much as I have been. This time around significant progress has been made with the engine gaining over 200 elo to it predecessor at hyper time controls.

Nice progress.

Yes. It is amazing what a tiny bit endgame knowledge can do. Around half of this gain was from adding 4-5 different endgame evaluations. Each was worth about 20-30 elo. Hopefully now the game won't be lost once the endgame is reached.

P.S. I just noticed there is a typo in the title. Is there anyway to fix that?

Great news! Thanks for the update. I'll make sure to update the version I'm testing.

Sorry you've had trouble getting your engine to play on OICS.
