[ZirconiumX]

In this version:

- King Safety (somewhat primitive)
- Pawn structure eval based on bitboards - thanks @Mk-Chan!
- Ply - 2 killer moves
- History Heuristic quiet move sorting
- Fixed a major repetition draw bug that resulted in a lot of thrown games.
- Fixed a move parsing bug that prevented it from recognising promotions after "usermove" - thanks @kz04px!
- Fixed a time control bug that caused crashes and time losses on repeating time controls
- Optimised the move generators somewhat.
- Various code cleanups.

Strength? It can beat Jumbo 0.1.5, Vice 1.0 and Faile, and put up a fight to Isa 1.9.51.

The 64-bit compile is 20% faster, so I suggest you use that if you can.

Indeed you will - I'm already logged in. I'm making some tweaks to it though.

Thank you, man ! The 32-bit version is already in tests !

It seems Arena chokes on the specification compliant thinking output. I'll add in a workaround for it.

Thank you, Ruxy!

What exactly did it not like?

Matthew, shall I postpone my imminent tournament?

What exactly did it not like?

From the XBoard Spec:

*selective depth Maximium length of any branch in the current search.
*speed Nodes per second in last measured time interval.
* Reserved for future extensions.
*tbhits Number of tablebase probes made in the current search.
pv Freeform text giving current "best" line. You can continue the pv onto another line if you start each continuation line with at least four space characters.

Should it not understand the lines beginning with *, it should interpret them as freeform text, no? But no, it chops that text off completely and ignores the PV.

I'll post new builds shortly, Gabor, but don't let me stop you. I'd like to know which tournament it is, though.

EDIT: Builds are up, suffixed with "-arenafix".

A tournament which is about to start in 10 minutes.
