Fire 2.2 xTreme (for Windows) by Kranium is UCI only, extremely strong, fast, and stable features: magic bitboards true SMP parallel search configurable pawn hash ponder searchmoves multiPV benchmark utilities multi positional gain (for each CPU/core/thread) multi history (for each CPU/core/thread) robbobase support (up to 6 piece endings) 70+ UCI/fire.cfg options random configuration generation optional timestamped I/O log file and much more... major changes: dear user: some might 'disapprove' of versions released so close together...to them i have a couple of things to say: i will not 'conform' to the 'good-old-boy' establishment criteria of 1-2 releases per year. users and/or testers will not dictate how or when i release a new version. if i have an improvement to the source code, no matter how insignificant, and i feel it will benefit the user, i may choose to release it. i do the work for free, i offer it for free, i have a right to release whenever and however i so choose. if you disagree with this, the answer is simple: don't download it. best regards as always- kranium
