Chess engine: Zangdar 2.27.08


Zangdar
UCI chess engine (written in C++11).
Rating CEDR=2959

v.2.27.08:
Since the last version, I added a Tuner, and made numerous tests to improve the evaluation. Some worked, but most of all failed. I begin to think that the real improvement now will the Neural thing. Im totally ignorant of that, that's the next big challenge ! Before that, I would like to continue to improve the search; there are some heuristics that I didn't integrate.
I also improved the search, but not that much.

I put binaries for different machines, from the weakest to the strongest :
x86-64
popcnt
avx2
