Pedone 1.5

Post by Fabio Gobbato »

I have just released a new version of my engine.

These are the changes:

Bug fixes
Default Drawscore is set to -5
MultiPV mode
Improved history heuristic
Halved the pawns hash table size (now it's 1/16 of the Hash size)
Tuning
Added bonus/malus for the distance of the kings from candidate passers
Improved checks evaluation
Added some more endings knowledge

It's only about 20-30 ELO stronger than 1.4.1 but much more stable
