Simon,
Thank you for your quick reply.
1) 5.04 may play a better game of chess than 5.05
because 5.04 builds a bigger opening book with more depth.
Why does 5.05 reduce the book size and depth level.
As PC's are getting faster and faster, shouldn't we be increasing
the book.dat size and increasing the depth?
2) In your installation instructions, perhaps you may want to recommend
that everyone use gcc -O3 for maximum optimization so their
program will decide on its moves as quickly as possible.
This can obviously be done by typing the following line:
CFLAGS="-O3 -foptimize-sibling-calls" ./configure
I enjoy using your program and thank you for all the time you've devoted to
maintaining it.
- Bill
