Chess engine: KhepriChess 2.1.0 (java)


KhepriChess - java (UCI) chess engine

v.2.1.0:
Two bugs were fixed:
"Semi-open file" bonus for rooks was actually applying to open files as well.
The array of occupied squares was not being reset when a position was loaded.

Additional changes and features:
Rework the aspiration window
Rooks get a small bonus for being on the same file as the opposing queen in the mid-game
Polyglot opening books are now supported
The file names have also been changed to (hopefully) make it more obvious which is which.

In self-play, Elo gain is 128.8 +/- 5.0.
