here a very short list of changes from the previous version.
-ponder support
-opening book support
-very poorly tested multi PV support
-lot's of evalutation modification
-some nasy bug added
in the end it should be stronger than vajolet 2.03

it should be stronger than 2600 on CCRL 40/40 list.
maybe it's the nasty bug that is working.
the code has a nasty bug that make it not find some good solution.. but I wasn't able to find it.

I dont saved the pgn, and scid does not save a history game log as other gui, so game its lost.
What I do remember is vajolet as black moved a rook forward (to capture and gain a pawn). Later that rook was subject of attack while develop I pieces and gain space. Vajolet never castled, not yet developed king side pieces.
I do think in the end, the hanging pawn blunder turned to be a "sacrifice" in exchange of development and later a nice attack.
OK, so now I know I beat a 2600 engine, and not saved the game, i'm going for a gun and kill myself
