CT800 V1.42 released

Post by Ras »

There's a new release V1.42 of the CT800, tested about 25 Elo stronger against other engines. I hope to finally crack the 2400 CCRL mark!

Here are the changes:
  • Improved quiet move history handling.
  • Improved null move pruning in endgames.
  • Added quiescence search pruning for losing captures with pawn protection.
  • Fixed a rare bug with illegal moves further down the PV.
  • Fixed the mate searcher with PV being cut off.
  • More opening book knowledge.
  • Changed the default for the background light from "automatic" to "always on" for devices that only run on external power supply.
  • Improved the software update instructions in the manual.
UCI versions:
  • Fixed the EP square evaluation in the FEN string.
