K2 Chess Engine

[Sery]

Hello and happy holidays!
New version 0.99 of K2 chess engine is out: https://github.com/serg-meus/k2/releases/099.
I didn't meausure the strength diff from version 0.95 but expect about 40-50 Elo.
This release is the last one.
Joke. The last one without artifical neural networks, bitboards, Rust programming language and, of course, 64 bits.

P.S. About previous 1.5 year-old post. In fact it was not a bug, just poor evaluation function.

Thanks, Sergey.

Hi Sergey,

Whatever I do, K2 uses only 4MB of memory under Arena when installed as a WB engine. What is the way to set hash to e.g. 256 MB?

Hi, Gabor.
Thank you for your report. I've fixed wrong behaviour of 'memory' command for Xboard and updated Windows binary on github.
Please download the updated EXE.
