GnuChess 5.07.174.1b

The latest in the GNU Chess 5.07 branch namely GNU Chess 5.07.174.1b is available here

http://hardy.uhasselt.be/Toga/gnuchess-release/

Based on 20000 1'+1'' games against a variety of engines it should be about 50 elo stronger than GNU Chess 5.07.173b and also a bit stronger than Fruit 2.1 (and hence, I guess, also a bit stronger than GNU Chess 6).

Part of the improvement is due to Clop tuning and part of it is due to the fact that I replaced GNU Chess's PSTs by those of Fruit 2.1.

There are Window and Linux 64/32 bit binaries, as well as an android binary.

That's ironic. GNUChess 5 is now stronger than GNUChess 6.
