Chess engine: Horowitz 2.1.0 (Windows, MAC and Linux)



Horowitz, author: OliveriQ
Horowitz is a UCI compatible chess engine written in Golang. Available to play against on lichess.

Releasing Horowitz v2.1.0.
This version essentially consists of a simpler evaluation function and a much faster search function. This has produced a reasonable gain in playing strength. Evaluation now uses PSQT's + Material (both now incrementally updated) and mop-up evaluation for converting late endgame positions. Other changes include various bug fixes.
