Ratsu - UCI chess engines
Author: Eetu Rantala

Ratsu 1.2.0 what's new?

This release adds aspiration windows and futility pruning to search; and introduces updated evaluation that now uses incremental updates, bitboards, and piece-square tables for different game phases.

Games against Stash 15.3, Blunder 6.1.0, and Rusty Rival 1.0.23, suggest that this version of Ratsu would be around 2250 Elo in CCRL blitz pool.
