bright 0.4a now public

Post by Allard Siemelink » Mon Mar 23, 2009 5:28 pm

Hi everybody,

I decided to make version 0.4a public, it can be downloaded from:

http://members.ziggo.nl/allard.siemelink/bright/

major changes include search and (king safety) evaluation,
resulting in more attractive play and a ~50 elo gain compared
to version 0.3a, the previous public version.

Your engine is bright.

Thanx,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

May I ask if it is Winboard or UCI compatible?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

Will there be a 64-bit version?

Thanks

I didn't see a Chess960 version of Bright before. This one seems to work well.
