At the time of release rev.6, I noticed a serious bug... Sorry for the inconvenience.

A preview of some new features in the rev.6:

• support up to 32 cores (verified, no bugs!);
• improvement in search, evaluation and cutting nodes;
• improvement in evaluation function;

 A special thanks to Matteo D'Annibale (author of Black Mamba) for some valuable tips and for the fruitful exchange of ideas (thanks, Matt!).

DeepSaros_eXp rev.5

General revision of the new DeepSaros, with some improvements:

• Cleaning the source code
• Improved zugzwang detect
• added some end-games
• added a patch in Aspiration Window
• added a patch in PV-qsearch
• added a patch in See.c

Now this engine begins to pleasure me! For the time being, remains the Time Manager's handicap, which is not very accurate.  In the next review, I'll try to improve this aspect.

DeepSaros eXp - Rev.4

I have done some changes into the Hash Table's code...

The playing strength has increased significantly. There are no other changes in the code.

Deep Saros "eXp" - rev.3

After a period in which I abandoned chess and programming, I went back to work on the old DeepSaros.

• Changed some things in the Time Manager;  
• some small experiments in the search moves and cutting of the nodes;  
• some small experiments in evelaution.c;  
• fix some minor bugs;

 I've only done a few test games (I'm darn lazy!), But the results are encouraging...
