ChessV version 2.1 released
Happy new year everyone! To kick it off in style, I present a significant upgrade to ChessV. It offers:
A much stronger engine AI. I was really surprised at how much I was able to improve it. It is now even stronger than the old C++ versions of ChessV.
A ton of bug fixes. Thanks to Aurelian Florea for spending a significant amount of time testing and reporting issues! Hopefully all of the existing bugs have been fixed.
Several important new features:
Review Mode - it is now possible to enter Review Mode and step back and forth through any game whether finished or still in progress
Edit Position FEN - it is now possible to view the FEN of the current position, as well as set up a new position by providing an FEN
Multi-PV Analysis - it is now possible to analyze a position to find multiple best moves with their associated evaluations
Crash Reporting - any program crash should now provide an option to save a log file which will help me to identify and fix the issue
New external engine - now includes SjaakII by Evert Glebbeek in addition to Fairy-Max (External engines are only included in the Windows Installer version)
If you have version 2.0 installed, it is probably best you do an uninstall of that first. Download version 2.1 here. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
