This release adds support for parsing DFRC ("Double Fischer Random Chess") positions

Besides this small enhancement to the FEN parser, this fix release does not contain any other changes.
So there are no changes to the playing strength or style compared to v4.0.0.

Changes

  • Support parsing DFRC positions

Installation

The chess engine is available for Windows and Linux and requires a 64 Bit CPU.
There are optimized executables available for different CPU micro-architecture generations.

If you have a relatively modern CPU (2013+) with AVX2 support, then the ...-x86_64-avx2 executable is highly recommended for best performance.

Executable Description Min. CPU Generation Required Instruction Sets
x86_64-avx2 Recommended for best performance on a modern CPU Intel Haswell / Zen1 AVX2, BMI1
x86_64-sse4-popcnt Lower performance, recommended for CPUs without AVX2 support Intel Nehalem / AMD Bulldozer SSE4.2, SSE3, POPCNT
x86_64-nopopcnt Lowest performance, but compatible with most x86_64 CPUs --- SSE2, CMOV
