Booot 6.5 release

Post by booot »

Good day all!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/35r7jacuyypw5 ... e.rar?dl=0

Here is a new version of my engine. The last version with 'classical' evaluation function and, most probably, the last at all. New age of NN-evaluation has come and there in no space here without it. I know what to do, how to do and i know all tools to do it but i am not sure i will pass all this way by my own to implement NN in my Pascal code engine. But i will try.

Anyway i spent really good time with all of you here, met lots of really great people during this years!

All the best!

Hi Alex,

that's fantastic news for myself.
Booot is one of my favorits, a fantastic day ... cann't bet better!

At first: Thank your for you aggressive chess program!
I like the produced statistics and of course the power from your engine!!

The only one ...
Booot is very strong in king safty with many pieces on board and offer great attacking chess.
And all this with a very low move average, no other top engine produced as attacker such a low move average (in games until mate).

The strengths are just optimal for analyzes to all the openings!

A big wish by myself is a better UCI analyze mode!
Version 6.5 not checked!

Need that for the next FEOBOS opening project I will start end of the year.
Booot will be one of 8 engines I will used for the analyzes from ECO A00-E99 positions.
Because I need here the full available engine power, so I need Booot.

Thank you again!!

Best
Frank

Congratulations!!
Is'nt there a Pascal -> C capable translator? Maybe will be easier for you to go for a NN.
