Version 0.81 Released

An important update, this has several bug-fixes and performance enhancements to correct problems reported in version 0.8. This version should be significantly smarter about how it plays.

This version also adds support for Fergus Duniho's Eurasian Chess. NOTE: this is by far the most computing-intensive game added yet, not just because of the number of pieces, but more importantly because of the cannon-movers. With cannon-movers on the board, it is much harder to determine which captures are winning captures, and thus many, many more moves must be examined in the quiescent-search. Any less than 10-15 seconds per move and it is not likely to play very well.
