Fire_8.NN.1 (Latest Version)

https://github.com/FireFather/fire/rele ... ire_8.NN.1

This release fixes multiPV and EngineMode 'classic' issue

Thanks to the Author FireFather Norman Schmidt

Dear Norm,

Is it possible to improve Fire time management so it not uses too much of its time. I am playing with it right now and most of the time it always gets in Zeitnot. Can you introduce Move Overhead and Slow Mover option from Stockfish in next Fire? I want to be able to tweak the time management...

I released Belofte 2.1.2.4 with following major fixes:

- 1 or 2 moves not evaluated when castle is possible (2.1.2.4);
- Extra margin added when at last move of time control to avoid flag (2.1.2.4);
- Fix on building windows x64 version, use GCC 8.1.0 instead of 4.9, yielding in much better performance (2.1.2.2);

For full details, see README.md. Anyone can use 2.1.2.4 to replace 2.1.2.0 till 2.1.2.3. For those wanting to see some elo jump, please hold on until I release 2.1.3.

New Invictus version here:

https://github.com/ed-apostol/InvictusC ... s/tag/r382

I hope to see a plus 100 Elo gain but 50 would be great

[Damir]

Thanks a lot Edsel!

One question: did you manage to fix exception error bug that caused the engine to deliver no move and resign the game ?
