OK folks, after a long wait while I got some work done on my PhD I've finally got round to getting back to ColChess and releasing a new version.
Not many changes, though you'll probably find that positional play is a noticeable amount better than previous versions, as are some aspects of endgame play. I've done a bit of work on king safety and pawn structures too.
I've also changed the opening book code, so you'll need to DL the new versions from my webpage. They are now considerably larger as well.
Hope it all works.

The 500 will have to wait until tonight. Here is the result for a PII 300 MHz:

You are right about positional play. When running a BoundsChecker debug build, I get about .1% of normal speed. About 2 ply was finished in 5 seconds (on average). Even at that, ColChess was scoring over 50% on WAC!!!
I was impressed.
