Chess engines: Polaris 1.4.0

on

 


Polaris is a UCI chess engine, a full rewrite of its predecessor (my first attempt at a chess engine, also named Polaris).

Rating CEDR=2430

v.1.4.0:
  • added history (finally)
  • implemented chess960
  • fixed longstanding bug with evaluation scaling in endgames
  • various fixes, tweaks and internal changes
1.4.0 is more of a bugfix and feature release than pure strength improvement, unlike 1.3.0 nevertheless, it is significantly stronger than 1.3.0, especially at LTC:
