Crafty 25.1 Release

[Canoike]

I wish the doc to be updated because I like to tweak with the parameters. Yhe crafy.hlp is a bit too short and the one at the official website too old.

Thanks.

Type help from the command prompt and you'll see what it offers. You can include those in the rc file.

Typing help from the command line is actually the crafty.hlp I am mentionning in above post. It is also innacurate, for instance the "store" command is not valid.
It is really time to make an updated and comprehensive documentation for Crafty.

It is a pity that non of the compiles are working for me.
Perhaps Jim Ablett can make working compiles.

Amen Bro...w32 compile needed for testing........Help!!

I can't test Crafty 25.1 either, as these compiles don't work for me.

Jim has not made a build of 25.1 yet, but I think another UCI version would be cool.

So strange. Dann's compile works fine on one of my AMD machines but I haven't tried it on the other.

You could try this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/896 ... ty-25.1.7z

Some notes:
* The 32-bit versions don't include syzygy support because of inline assembly code that failed to compile.
* I have only tested the windows versions in linux using wine.
* The windows versions should work in windows xp and later.
* The -old versions should work even if the CPU does not support the popcnt instruction.
* Profile guided optimization is not used. (Too complicated to use when cross-compiling.)
* crafty-win64.exe and crafty-win32.exe are optimized for intel core i7.

Thanks Peter! Finally a compile which works on my 'old' 64 bit machine.

Hi Peter,

works fine on my i7 4th and 5th gen. & Intel Q9550 hardware. I will use your version for my test-run.

Have many thanks!

Best
Frank
