Revision #599 is available. New features: ---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Stockfish now is analyzing variant Three-Check Chess. This version might not play/analyze perfectly, it requires experience to evaluate/estimate positions. And unfortunately I cannot find Three-Check games in the Internet, the current evaluation algorithm for Three-Check is a first try based on intuition. It will help if anyone can send me games. I've attached a small PGN file with two little (artificial) Three-Check games which will give an impression what Three-Check is. About the performance of Stockfish: in my tests it seems that there is no significant performance loss, although Three-Check is added. Furthermore: The evaluation of normal chess positions is unaffected. A technical note: removing "-DTHREECHECK" in engine/stockfish/Makefile will compile the engine without Three-Check. By the way: previously I've announced that I will prepare engine Crafty for Three-Check Chess, but I changed my decision. Probably I will remove Crafty from the main distribution, Stockfish is much more stronger engine. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Scidb provides an engine dictionary (use Main Menu->Tools-> Open Engine Dictionary). A player dictionary will follow. --------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings from Frankfurt, Gregor
