Plisk 025

[vladstamate]

Hi all,

I've made available Plisk 025n which is the version that played in WCRCC and shared 10th place with Arasan, Telepath and Jabba (while having won against both Jabba and Telepath). The only minor change from that is that Plisk will now show evaluations from white's point of view when playing or analyzing.

In STS tests it now gets 13 more positions correct compared to Plisk 024o (596 versus 609) in STS 1-10. The results of all STS tests as well as others are available on the website. Also in direct games, the new version scores around 55% (so about 30-36ELO) compared to previous version.

Windows (64, 32 and popcount), Linux (32) and MacOSX builds are available.

Also this build comes with an updated book (polyglot).

NOTE: The amd64 executable for Windows will run on Intel CPUs as long as popcount is supported - such as Core i7 and so on.

Thank you for trying it and Enjoy,
Vlad.
