Thanks for the release, my friend. I realize I am becoming a pest- but is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE you would consider going back to "DoubleCheck"??

Thanks Lucas. Any chance of a compile for no-SSE comps as well?

There's no such thing as "no SSE comp":
* Intel: SSE2 arrived with the Pentium M, which came before the first 64-bit Intel CPUs.
* AMD: SSE2 arrived with k8, opteron, athlon64, athlon-fx. And athlon64 is the first AMD to support 64-bit.

So 64-bit implies at least SSE 2 compliant.

The only things that are really missing are: an Android (32-bit) compile and a MacOSX compile. While MacOSX users can compile it themselves, compiling for Android it not so trivial, and you typically don't compile on a cell phone (most people cross compile on Linux).

You never stop spamming, do you?

If you continue, I'll call the next version something REALLY stupid.

Okay. Thanks for explaining. 8-)
You can tell that I'm no expert when it comes to hardware.

Cheers,

I vote for "DoubleDisco" :mrgreen: For example,
[d]1B6/8/1pk5/1rq2K2/8/5N2/6B1/8 w - - 0 1
White defends the check with a double disco, and suddenly it's mate: Ne5#

(I think that's a Mustermatt?)

Shame that the engine does not ponder mode.

Nice mate!

But DoubleDisco is redundant: double check implies disco check (reverse is not true).

How about "DiscoMate" ?
