Hi everyone!

This is this new release of Toga II 3.0, thanks to Jim Ablett for the compilation.

Features:
- scores 64% against previous Toga versions at various time controls, so should be a decent strength improvement.
- Multi-PV fixed

For more details see readme.txt where a full list of changes may be found.

Hope you enjoy using Toga

Very nice!

Thank you! However this strength increase wouldn't have happened without all the helpful people here, particularly in the Programming forum ...

To clarify: it scored +100 elo (64%) against Toga II 2.02 in 6000 games, 2000 at 10' + 0.1" and 4000 at 1 min + 0.1 s / move. It also defeated Toga Returns 1.1 and Toga 1.4.1 SE by similar margins.

Hello, unfortunately the download does not work!

Hi,

It still works fine for me here. What error are you getting?
If you would like, you can pm me with your email and I'll send it to you.

Best regards,
Jerry

Sorry, my mistake. But I see there are only 32 bit executables included.

I bet 32-bit is just as fast, if not faster for Toga. That's because it's based on Fruit, which doesn't use bitboards.

That's really impressive. Congratulations! I know that it's hard to gain 100 elo at this level. It's possible that the results are a little inflated by self-play, but still, even if it's only 80 elo in rating list conditions, it's a huge step forward
