Chess engine: Rofchade 2.1 (Linux, Windows and Mac)

Rofchade is a UCI chess engine written in C++.
Author- Ronald Friederich.  Rating JCER=2927

There are 3 versions of rofchade: 
1.the regular version,
2.the bmi2 version
3.the nopopcnt version.

If you have an Intel processor type Haswell or later (introduced june 2013) then the fastest rofchade version is the bmi2.
If you have an AMD processor (Ryzen, Threadripper etc.) or an Intel processor before Haswell use the regular version.
NB the bmi2 version is much slower on the AMD processors so don't use that version on AMD
If you have an older processor without popcount support (Intel before Nehalem, AMD before Phenom) use the nopopcnt version
