Sting-sf-4 release

...perhaps somebody could create a 64bit-compile, please?

Sorry Stefan, your work for Sting is not that important.
You, Graham and Other are very important for ELO engines, but it is not the reason to try to ask.

To avoid in the future some offensive words that Sting is only some devilish trick, I will try to explain my work much deeper.
Both the positions (represent some wide groups) are very easy to solve for chessplayers.
[d]8/5pKN/5Pp1/5kP1/8/Bb6/8/7q b - - bm Qxh7;
[d]5K2/k4p1p/5p1p/1p3p2/bP6/1p6/1P5p/7B w - - bm Ke8(e7);
Also both are extremaly tough for engines. The problem is in so-called "null move search".
By my long and hard work I found a shape for the "null move search" which let us look forward to the solid chess engine.
There was needed to solve the problem of the "value draw" too, which can work like the black hole. I found the solution and still the value draw is ZERO.
Why it is important? At first it is normal or natural one. Moreover I will try to use the huge power (black hole) to evaluate zero (fortress).
I hope it will be in the next version (Sting SF 5) soon.
One condition is important for me too to maintain a similar ELO level of the parent egine (Stockfish 211).

OK. There will be no test of Sting SF4 for the LS-ratinglist (until there is no 64bit-compile)...

Hi Marek,

Is it possible to get a 32-bit compile with no DLL dependencies?
I have some problems running your program.
This is the second time I have problems with your sting.


1st prob I remember Sting2 or Sting3 has some bug, buffer overflow, which
is blocked by DEP of windows.


Now this latest version, Sting 4, requires some VC9 DLL.

I think it is also possible to compile with no dependencies and will work
as standalone exe. Just like houdini1.5 or Rybka2.2 or all versions of
stockfish.

Hi Mike,
Please try to download and install the Microsoft libraries:
