Rodin v8.0 released

[Kempelen]

Hi,

I have released Rodin v8.0 It can be downloaded from https://sites.google.com/site/clonfsp/r ... ess-engine

It is stronger than v7.0. The Elo gain will depend on time control, but maybe around 50 or more ELO points.

There are many features, but most important ones are:

- A more accurate and tuned eval function.
- Improvements in some search parts.
- Learning.
- Own magics.
- Bug fixes.
- Personalities.

Note that I have not programmed Rodin for ultrafast games ( < 10 secs), in fact I suspect there should not be any signficant elo gain playing so.

Hope you find it enjoyable.

Best regards,
Fermin

Yes, I think so - it is good hidden on the right side of the page...

Thanks for the engine!

Thanks for the help. I did not see the arrows on the right side of the page.
I only clicked on the Rodent file to download, but I could not, nothing happened...

[Damir]

Thanks for the engine.

nice to see yet another engine with personalities! Can You explain how Your parameters influence evaluation function and what are their ranges?

Can you estimate how strong your engine is in elo ?

According to my last test tournament, it should be around > 40 ELO stronger than v7.0 in fast test time controls. I hope anyway to perform better in slow time controls, as I have that feeling. Not much, as I have been coding many other things other than those that give elo
