It has a number of minor improvements over v6.02 in king safety, some piece and mobility value optimization via CLOP, and a few minor search improvements.
I also revised the 'default' score values in the source code to match the score.par values which have been learned and hand optimized over a long period of time... this way, if score.par is deleted by accident a new version with the 'best' values will be automatically created.

I'm having some problems with all versions of EXchess in Arena 2.0.1. (EXchess JA builds.) Regardless of what I try, I can't seem to get it to use the Nalimov TBs. Also, in analysis mode, it just seems to constantly cycle in plies from 1 to the low 20s, back to 1, etc.
Also, when I install the engine, it seems to want to add "xb hash 32" as a command line option. Should the engine be running in xboard mode? (After install. it shows as a Winboard-2 protocol engine.)
Also, the hash values displayed in Arena are a little smaller than the actual hash settings in search.par.
Has anyone been successful in using the TBs in Arena with this engine? Any help appreciated.

Hi James,
I didn't compile with tablebase support. It is off by default in the src.
I'll post some links here later to builds with tablebase support.

Hi Jim,
No hurry, I just thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks.
