Chess engine: Pedantic 0.3

 


Pedantic - UCI engines

v.0.3:
It is no longer mandatory to pass the argument "uci" in order to use Pedantic in a chess GUI. This should alleviate issues where GUI does not provide a method to pass this argument.
The option MaxThreads has been removed from Pedantic's configuration. This option (or the more standard Threads option) will be reenabled when Pedantic supports SMP.
Static Null Move Pruning (Reverse Futility Pruning)
Internal Iterative Deepening
Enhanced time management (results in stronger performance)
Enhanced static position evaluation (2x2 king buckets, enhanced king safety and stronger center control)
Faster search (shorter time to depth)
Will now use PEXT/PDEP instructions to enhance move generation if available on the user's system.
