Hello! Alouette 0.1.2 is available.

I change all the identifiers to english names, and removed things in evaluation procedure.

You can play against Alouette on lichess.org:

Combusken 1.1.0 released
https://github.com/mhib/combusken/releases/tag/v1.1.0

The most important change in this release is Syzygy tablebases support.

Should be ~40-60 ELO stronger than Combusken 1.0.0.

That's a significant step for an already very strong engine. I am looking forward to testing it (soon).

I see some of your patches for 1.1 where inspired by my work for Ethereal, like the stacked passers code or the distant knights penalty. Nice ! I'm happy the ideas helped.

I hope you can keep on gaining elo, and find some original elo-gaining tricks of your own that could help other engines too. :)
