Eubos v2.0
This is a major new Eubos release.
- The engine now supports multi-threaded execution
- The evaluation function is improved:
- King safety now takes account of king placement on open lines, that are exploitable by the opponent
- Piece mobility is improved following removal of a premature optimisation
- The quiescence search is improved:
- It no longer searches checks, which caused a branch explosion issue, highlighted by multithreaded mode
- A defect in setting the PAT score is corrected
Please consider using the batch file to invoke Eubos, I have tweaked the JVM configuration slightly to suit Eubos, this tweak is applied by the batch file as a command line switch to Java. Thanks to the developers of JITWatch for that excellent tool :)
