WyldChess 1.5 - winboard chess engine (Windows and Linux)

on
WyldChess - winboard chess engine

Author - Mk-Chan
Rating JCER=2407

Overview
A free chess engine in C. It does not provide a GUI (Graphical User Interface) but can be linked to one that supports the Xboard/Winboard protocol.

The 32-bit and 64-bit executables are available in the binaries folder. Alternatively, WyldChess can be compiled using Cygwin or MinGW (Samples available in makefile).

 Changes:
Added Syzygy EGTB support
Improved LMR (in part thanks to Ed Schroeder!)
Added history heuristic
Fixed TT mate-score bugs
Better futility pruning
Begun switching to c++ for easier coding(and possibly smaller binaries for windows)
This version I mainly modified search without changing evaluation much. Self testing shows significant(100+) elo gains at 40moves/90s and a little less at 40/10s+0.1s but I doubt it will work out better than ~50elo going by the CCRL list.
Next version I intend to switch completely to C++, actually improve the evaluation and finally add multi-threading support.
