<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Update: Numpty 0.4pr</span></strong><br />
&quot;The latest version is probably 50 - 75 elo better than 0.3pr&quot;<br />
Features:<br />
- added support for sudden death time control (G in y)<br />
Bug fixes:<br />
- several minor bugs in book code which could result in engine hang<br />
- corrected root move number display<br />
- corrected eval bug (black queen using white queen piece_square_table!)<br />
- major bug in swap-off routine (returning reverse color's eval)<br />
- error in value of queen promotion (+60cp)<br />
- rare movegen bug (pawn giving check can be taken by ep!)<br />
- rare incorrect result claims (eg pxp ep is possible to prevent checkmate!)<br />
- premature termination at game conclusion (as far as I know!)<br />
Other:<br />
- added limited endgame condition checking in search<br />
- added limited code optimisation - (speed increase c25%)<br />
