DiscoCheck 5.1

[lucasart]

Here is a new version of my engine, DiscoCheck.

I've attached some compiles (Linux and Windows 64-bit). As usual, SSE4.2 compiles are for modern CPU, and SSE2 are slower but compatible with older CPU:

discocheck_5.1.tar.gz

DiscoCheck 5.1 compiles

(611.65 KiB) Downloaded 2716 times

The source code is also available, on my github page:
https://github.com/lucasart/chess/releases

It scores 56% against DiscoCheck 5.0.1, at fast time control 6"+0.05". Hard to predict how that will translate in rating list condition, against unrelated opponents and at much higher time control.

In terms of playing style, it really plays more actively now. There is a fair bit of eval tuning behind this.

I'm going to run a long TC test and post some results, in the tournament section.

Enjoy!
