Hi to all,
I wanted to keep the original terminology.
On modern PC:
TitanicMode = ON; TitanicCpuSizing = number of cores of your computer;
otherwise, the engine will run using only one core.
With regard to the strength of the game, I think I've improved quite well the engine but, to be honest, I have not tested Elektro against original Igorrit.
In blitz-games, the engine is a little less strong than Gull-3 and basically on par with Fire-3. Elektro plays better in long-time games.
Finally, as regards the 32-bit version ... Why not? A vintage touch never hurts, maybe even compile an 8-bit version for the Commodore-64 and ZX-81...

Roberto - has Elektro now replaced DeepSaros as your main project?

Thanks for your comment! My reason for asking was just where to put
Elektro in my private rating list. There I have Igorrit 3002 and Fire 3 is
3035. So I will put Elektro on par with Fire

I think to launch the first systematic tests during this weekend...
I would like to know and I am sure others do as to why you went from Vitruvius-DeepSaros and now Elektro?
Did you want to incorporate different concepts into your initial builds and then you assumed it was better to do a total restructure?

Yes, basically it is.
Basically, my main interest is chess, and only secondarily programming. This explains my use of MODs, rather than make an engine from scratch.
Then you must consider my terrible laziness: it costs too much time, too much work and too much effort to implement an engine from scratch and take it to a good strength level.

Second: Igorrit, in my opinion, it was a more interesting engine than Ivanhoe. I have tried to change and improve this interesting project.
I'm confused, the files used to compile Elektro, as well as a complete list of functions, vars, etc., can be seen in the binary (just open it with Wordpad).
They match 100% to recent IvanHoe (which is stronger and much further developed than Igorrit).
