Just a short heads up that Stockfish 5 is out :)
http://stockfishchess.org/download/
I guess it is by some measures the strongest engine now available, and
after a short test seems equal with Critter 1.6 at fast time control (1m +
.01s , ponder on, 2 threads per engine) on my linux box.
One thing i'm curious about is the default "threads" setting. Critter
defaults to 4 threads (or is that #cpucores?), while stockfish defaults to 1
Critter 1.6
option name Threads type spin default 4 min 1 max 32
Stockfish (svn)
option name Threads type spin default 1 min 1 max 128
Will an engine always run stronger with more threads ?
