Arasan 13.3

Post by jdart » Mon Nov 14, 2011 7:04 pm

Arasan 13.3 is available from http://www.arasanchess.org. This is the version that played in the recent ACCA Pam-Am CCC event.

Changes in Arasan 13.3:
1) In Winboard mode, Arasan still accepts but does not rely on the
deprected "white" and "black" commands to keep track of the
computer's side of the game.
2) Winboard "level" command accepts time of form mm:ss and allows decimal
times.
3) More general code for trapped bishop.
4) Static null pruning is implemented.
5) Dynamic null reduction based on score (aka "smooth scaling").
6) Changes to razor & futility margins and related code.
7) Fixes to history pruning. History table is global now, not per-thread.

Hi Jon, when I install the program under Arena as usual, it says that the arasanx.exe file is 64-bit. I run 32 bit so I'm not using the arasanx-64 bit exe. Is this a mistake?
Many thanks,
Gerald

No, i guess Jon accidently packed two 64-bit versions into the zip, for 32-bit you can use either the installer or wait until Jon will kindly fix it! :)
