Zahak 6.0

Post by amanjpro »

A new version of Zahak is out! Zahak 6.0 comes with many additions, most importantly it comes with Parallel Search, yup finally :D

Zahak 6.0 should be rated somewhere around 2800 as per CCRL Blitz rating (that is some 90 +/- 13 elo points stronger than 5.0). You can download it here: https://github.com/amanjpro/zahak/releases/tag/6.0

You can also read more about this release here: https://zahak.amanj.me/posts/zahak-6/

Thanks!
If this increase becomes real (Ed's results seem to confirm that!) Zahak should be strong enough for our 5'+3" list with Ponder 😉👍

Thank you all for your support!

@Wolfgang I am looking forward to that


On another note, I also made a hotfix, which should not affect 64-bit architecture builds at all, it only fixes builds for RaspberryPi and Android:

Today I am lousy, had to tag another hot fix to fix multi-threading search: https://github.com/amanjpro/zahak/releases/tag/6.2

Again, no need to restart tests or anything it is bit-by-bit equivalent to version 6.0 for everything except mulit-threaded search

Seems like your way beyond your stated goal of 2700 ELO now! It's hard to stop, isn't it?

Congrats on another big leap forward! =)
