Andscacs - New version 0.62w

Post by cdani » Thu Apr 10, 2014 6:52 pm

Hi!
Again a new version.

Changes:
* Improved some parameters of the evaluation function.
* Added knowledge of endgames KRPKR, KRKB, KBNK, KPK (Thanks to code of H.G. Muller http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47557).
* Added knowledge of basic draw endgames.
* Increased speed of move generation.

So until now it had no knowledge of any endgame, it was time :-) Thanks to H.G. Muller for his code of KPK!!!

It's curious, at least was for me, that only adding the endgames the engine was weaker. I had to reevaluate not a few parameters to be able to win some strength.

Now for move generation I use in many cases the full attack information that I always have in bitboards. It's not well optimized yet, but for the moment it's faster.

Also I created a move generation function to generate only the capture moves to use sometimes in quiescence.

So the engine must be stronger, don't know if much.
