Deep Saros ver. 4.1.3

Ok, this version seems quite competitive, and should not make a bad impression...

DeepSaros now supports the new Robbabases through dynamic link library, as in the latest versions of Ivanhoe:

• To use the Robbabases, in windows version, you must put the file "RobboBaseLib.dll" in the same folder of the engine, or in the immediately higher.

• To use the Robbabases, in linux version, you must put the file "RobboBaseLib.so" in the same folder of the engine, or in the immediately higher.

A tip: assign to PawnsHash, about 1/8 of the Hash.

You can also try to assign 1/4 of the Hash...

Price: Deep Saros costs lots of money ... $ 0.000, but the 0, 0001% of revenues will be paid to the Nordic ski team of the Western Sahara.

Aloha!

 

The latest version was a bit "merry". At this moment, I'm testing the new version 4.1.3 which is proving quite competitive.
To check if the engine sounds good, I'm running a match against Stockfish (24 games).

CPU : AMD 8350-FX 8 cores
O.S. : Windows-7 Ultimate Professional (SP-1)
GUI : Arena 3.0
Book: "Libra 8 moves.abk"
Hash : 2048 MBytes
No TB
Time : 60 min. / game

The match will continue tonight, with other 6 games...

The engine is doing well! I have not tested it on short time controls (blitz, bullet, etc.), but, frankly, they do not interest me.

Deep Saros ver. 4.1.2 "Dynamic".

This is an experimental version which focuses on the dynamic game.

It is not suited to the challenges "computer Vs. computer", but I prepared for personal use. The goal of this release is to find sharp and original variations for O.T.B. players.

This version is not appropriate for lovers of exciting tests based on thousands of one-minut-games!

Haste is a bad counselor...
This version is substantially equal to the previous one, but corrects an annoying defect of the Time Manager.

Download DeepSaros 4.1.1 

Version 4.1.0 is now ready!

• fixed a stupid error in the 32-bit versions;
• correction of some minor bugs (increased playing strength?);
• changed the Time Manager (though, I'm still not satisfied);
• some changes in the evaluation functions (increased playing strength?);

Download ver. 4.1.0

DeepSaros 4.0.0 is an U.C.I. chess engine derived from the free engine Ivanhoe ver. 999952a.
DeepSaros is, for me, essentially a toy to have fun and experiment


New in this version:

• Time Manager completely rewritten;
• Refinement of the evaluation functions;
• some experiments in a search function and in the cutting of nodes;
• Fix some bugs.
