CT800 V1.41 released

[Ras]

A new release V1.41 of the CT800 engine is available, about 10 Elo stronger:

- Improved fail-high handling at root.
- Increased check deepening from two to three moves.
- Endgames with a minor piece ahead but no pawns are recognised as drawish.
- Improved mate score reliability from hashtables.
- More opening knowledge.

UCI versions:
- Using "searchmoves" does not block the internal opening book when this is enabled via "ownbook". This improves compatibility with Picochess.

Android:
- Dropped binaries for x86 CPUs. Only ARM is supported.

Raspberry Pi:
- Rolled back the GCC version from 8.3.0 (Buster) to 6.3.0 (Stretch).

Hi Rasmus,

CT800 is a perfect program for self playing with DGT board.

Rasmus, if the admin from chesscomputer.info created a new setup file with CT800 v1.41 I can added it on my website.

Thanks for your new version!!

Best
Frank
