Chess engine UCI: Zahak 9.0 (Windows, Linux and Mac)

 

Zahak - UCI chess engine written in Go. 
Author: Amanj Sherwany  Rating CEDR=2967

v.9.0
Usability improvements
MultiPV Support
Supporting go searchmoves ..., go mate ... and go nodes ... UCI go commands, which makes the engine better at finding mate and also in analyzing (searchmoves).
Support of 7 different skill levels (1 being the weakest, while 7 is the strongest). Anchored around Rustic Alpha 3, I found that, based on CCRL the ratings will probably translate to the following:
Skill Level 1: 1270
Skill Level 2: 1440
Skill Level 3: 1630
Skill Level 4: 1856
Skill Level 5: 2004
Skill Level 6: 2074
Strength improvements
A much stronger network is included, trained on more than 500 million self-play positions.
A much more improved search
Better move ordering thanks to counter history and follow-up history
Lots of bug fixes!
Much better multi-threading support.
