Thanks for the builds!
This new version(1.11 / 1.12) is just an eval cleanup. There was stuff I wrote long time ago I didn't understand so I removed them.
It seems Sapeli plays better.
+ It castles ASAP.
+ It keeps pawn in front of his king.
I need to run more tests before making a release.

Re: New engine releases 2019
Thank you, Stan. Judging by the version number the changes are minor. What are they?

Usual code optimisations but the main thing is a nullmove trick. I reduce an extra ply if static eval is significantly out of window.
Cheers,
Stan

Re: New engine releases 2019
Salut Vivien,
Mimic does not support tablebases yet?
P.S. I see you are testing a Linux version of Igel. Actually, most of my testing is done on Windows, so perhaps there is something in Linux version that slows it down.
I presume two factors: time management and LMR. Also, in long tc there is a chance tablebase probing code will kick-in. I will check it out, but since most of my testing time controls are 40/4 and 40/40 this is not so urgent

Minic has experimental support of syzygy table but not really tested yet ... I'll work on that ... just finished KPK...
