Cheese 1.8

[Patrice Duhamel]

I released Cheese 1.8, with FRC variant support :

Changes:

- fixed problem in game phase update
- fixed crash with 1 Mb hash table
- fixed nodes count output
- fixed problem in multipv output
- add FRC support
- use LMR in PV nodes
- add "reverse futility pruning"
- add checking moves in 1st ply of quiescence search
- skip minor promotions in quiescence search
- remove mate condition in null moves pruning
- rewrite FEN parsing
- reorganize code for eval,movegen,endgame,protocols
- optimize move sorting

Now I need to rewrite some parts before I start to add multithreading.

I want to try automated tuning, but don't know where to start.

Thanks, I heard of this but it's not easy, I will need time to understand how it works.

Here you have some basic pseudo code that can give you some clues:

Is your Cheese closed source ?
I like compiling under linux and see error messages

Cheese is closed source, I can't promise it but I may release the source someday.
