v4.0.1
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 |
