here a very short list of changes from the previous version.
-ponder support
-opening book support

Marco Belli
Works fine under linux/scid-vs-pc/wine combo.
Still is not very strong, I was 2 pawns down and managed to recover and win...

how strong are you?
Very nice place.
Im about 1600, so its a weak club player.
Cg Marco,
nasty bug...? Smile
it should be stronger than 2600 on CCRL 40/40 list.
maybe it's the nasty bug that is working.
the code has a nasty bug that make it not find some good solution.. but I wasn't able to find it.
I dont saved the pgn, and scid does not save a history game log as other gui, so game its lost.
What I do remember is vajolet as black moved a rook forward (to capture and gain a pawn). Later that rook was subject of attack while develop I pieces and gain space. Vajolet never castled, not yet developed king side pieces.
I do think in the end, the hanging pawn blunder turned to be a "sacrifice" in exchange of development and later a nice attack.
OK, so now I know I beat a 2600 engine, and not saved the game, i'm going for a gun and kill myself
