chess22k 1.3 released

Post by sandermvdb » Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:28 pm

Score is now about 2500 elo.
The next few months I am probably not going to work on my engine (if I can control my hobby ;))

https://github.com/sandermvdb/chess22k/releases/tag/1.3

Some background:
Since I started to work on this engine I've used Arena 3.5.1 quite a lot for testing purposes and just to see how my engine behaves. One of the included engines in Arena is Anmon 5.7.5 which used to be way out of reach and a lot of times I thought I would never manage that. Then a couple of months ago I'd won for the first time so Anmon was now my main target. Hopefully with this version I've managed to achieve that goal :)

I've restarted my gauntlet with your new version. All 1.2 games will get removed from the list.

Congratulations! Anmon was also one of the opponents of Andscacs once it arrived to maybe 2300-2400, and was long and difficult to overcome :-)

I just noticed that this version contains a bug in the razoring implementation which is costing about 100 elo points. Later today I will release 1.3.1 where this is fixed.
