Zangdar
UCI chess engine (written in C++11).
Rating CEDR for Windows=2957 (there are no tests for Android yet)

v.2.24:
This version don't bring a lot of new features. I tried many things, deleted them. After some time I decided to publish this version. So, what is new ?

I got a new PC (AMD 5950X, with 16 cores). This permits to launch more tests simulteanously. I can now use the new instruction bmi2.
staged move picker
better time management
better search
This release should be near 2990 elo (in blitz).

I attach binaries for several architectures , from the most powerful to the less one :
5950X : native for my PC
bmi2
avx2
popcount
x64
