Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 9:47 pm
(1) Deuterium
Released Deuterium v11.02.29.107. Could be 20 to 40 elo more over previous v11.01.28.159 based from personal test.
(2) Bihasa
Also an update on Bihasa v2.1 for capablanca/gothic variants.
This will fix a bug in the bihasa.ini file where new values set by the user
were ignored.
(3) Makulit
For those interested in xiangqi or chinese chess, you can also find Makulit v1.0. A lot of things in the search as well as in the evaluation are
still to be done, not even mentioning the complicated rules, well I just learned to play the game
. The engine is able to play now without being flagged by winboard of illegal rules.

A. Introduction
Makulit is a winboard engine that can only play xiangqi or chinese chess.
The code is based on Deuterium normal chess engine. Makulit is a
Filipino word meaning persistent. You need to use winboard GUI
when playing for convenience. Chinese chess rules can be found here

Thanks to Tom Kerrigan for his work on TSCP, also to H.G. Muller
for the development of winboard Gui which supports xiangqi.
Makulit development relies heavily on the adjudication of this GUI,
