Chess engine: Fabchess 1.16


Fabchess - UCI chess engine  Rating JCER=2930
Author : Fabian von der Warth

Version 1.16
Version 1.16 comes with a significant strength increase over the last releasted version 1.15 and a lot less code.
Changes include:
-Better handling of endgames
-Retune parameters with Andrews data
-Late move reductions changes
-Add new evaluation features: King piece (shogi-like) incrementally updated tables.
Currently only for pawns.

A new type of executable will be available next to "normal" and "popcnt" namely "BMI2", which will use PEXT, so don't use that executable if your hardware does not support this instruction set natively. BMI2 will be the fastest exectuable, followed by popcnt and then normal will be very slow. Please let me know if there are any problems with the executables.
