Clearing Hash and searching from start on every new move.

With "clean search" I got mostly better results in testsuites with Fritz. Arena does always engine re-start in every position so not needed? But I noticed really weird thing: with one core and "clean search" Crystal crashed always in Fritz! Sooner or later engine speed goes to 1-5 knps.

By chance do you have information on how to compile engines for Android? Very interested in giving it a go.

Amdroid builds already shows 3.1 as version number. :wink:

However, could be changed in the source code.

misc.cpp:

Code: Select all

/// Version number. If Version is left empty, then compile date in the format
/// DD-MM-YY and show in engine_info.
const string Version = "";
