Hi all!

The new tomitankChess is avaliable.
This is Probably the Last Mailbox Version.
The new version will be completely bitboard.
(Yes. In pure JavaScript. First in the World.)

Version 1.5:
------------------
- New UI interface code (now working with JSUCI as well)
- Tuned Search algorithm
- Use TT at depth == 0

Estimated level:
------------------
- v.1.5: ~2540 elo (Still the Strongest JavaScript Chess Engine /2017.12.03/)

TODO:
------------------
- Pawn Eval Hash (Unfortunately there is little profit, but more memory needs. I'll consider it later.)

Have fun with tomitankChess!

Thanks Tamas.
All the best with the new development.

Thanks Tamas. Best of luck in further improving your engine.
Do you plan on making your engine with UCI support ?

Already support it! Please read the "README" file on github.
If you add new engine, then can you adding command line parameter.
Arena GUI with node.js:
Comand line: direct acces to node.exe (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)
Command line parameters: direct acces to tomitankChess.js (C:\Program Files\nodejs\tomitankChessUCI.js)

Thanks a lot. I thought since your engine was made in JAVA, it did not contain any UCI, since JAva is entirely completely different programming language.. Glad to see I was mistaken

This is JavaScript. Not equal to JAVA
JavaScript is very slow and support only the 32 bits integers, but it also runs in the web browser. (It's hard to write a really strong engine in JavaScript.)

Cool!

Must be a PITA trying debug that code

I fixed unstoppable passer bug. Please download the new version! Sorry.

Hi Tamás,

I've updated my Lozza gauntlet to use 1.5. Good luck with the the bitboard route. I have no plans to go there myself, but I will follow your progress with great interest.
