Hi,
I have just released version 0.7 of my chess playing program Amy. The main changes from version 0.6 to 0.7 were (see ChangeLog):
* Fixed a couple of minor glitches which were discovered by Dann Corbit when
porting Amy to Windows
* Fixed several bugs in the parallel search (EGTB code, pawnFacts)
* Added analyze mode
* Added .amyrc
* New time allocation strategy
* Changes to book handling
* Several minor changes to the evaluation function
Please note that this a source code only release. For a winboard version you will have to wait until Dann Corbit compiles Amy. At least I hope he does.
Have fun!
-Thorsten

Is it now possible to add the tablebases path to .amyrc to avoid copying the tb directory to the Amy directory? BTW, thanks for a new release of your excellent program.
Best wishes...

The new Amy is a sabre-toothed tactical monster! It got 280/300 in WAC at 5 seconds per move on a lowly PII 300 MHz Intel machine! Here is the tail end of the analysis for WAC:

Nodes = 359629, QPerc: 53 %, time = 6.4 secs, 56.2 kN/s
Extensions: Check: 42478 DblChk: 53 DiscChk: 337 SingReply: 7993

Hashing: Trans: 12762/165707 = 7 % Pawn: 115296/117474 = 98 %

EGTB Hits/Probes = 0/0
Hashtable 1: entries = 2097152, use = 60681
