Chess engine: Blunder 7.6.0 (Windows, Mac, Linux)

on

Blunder - UCI chess engine
Author: Christian Dean, Rating CEDR=2985 (75 place)

v.7.6.0
This release contains no new features, but various tweaks of existing ones that have improved
Blunder's strength. History values are decreased when the move fails to raise alpha or cause
a beta-cutoff, queen promotions are considered in quiescence search, pawn pushes to the 6th
rank and above are no longer reduced, and late-move reductions are no longer allowed to drop
the search directly into quiescence search. These changes are summarized below and resulted
in a gain of around 80 Elo in self-play.
