New rofChade released: version 2.1

There is a new “official” release available of rofChade, version 2.1. Between version 2.0 and 2.1 multiple intermediate versions have been participating in different tournaments (TCEC, CCC, International GSEI web tournament, Swiss tournament and Graham’s Amateur Series).

In addition to multiple search optimizations, version 2.1 also contains syzygy Tablebase support via the fathom library. All the changes of version 2.1 are shown under the release tab.

A special thanks go to Ronald de Man, Basil Falcinelli and Jon Dart for making the implementation of endgame Tablebases (syzygy) a breeze, and to all the testers, who devote a lot of time in testing rofChade (and many other engines).

Finally, thanks to everybody who takes interest in rofChade!
