999953 was re-uploaded a few minute ago and will not be touched again. Everything is now back to default source after playing around. Normally I try not to mess with parts of the code that affect engine play.

Interesting statement posted on Ippolit website that there are secret modification in my builds. This is not quite the case. It is true that the builds do have slight modification, but in most cases, these are code already in the source -- disabled/enabled by default.

Search, Eval, Material Weight... are not tampered with -- many others already do that. The goal has always been to have something as close as possible to the original source, and as intended by the developers. Here are things I do and have done with the builds:

- In the earlier versions, Smooth Scaling (introduced to Stockfish by Dann Corbit) was added as UCI option up to version 999963. Although UCI option for 999963 is there, I actually forgot to enable the code -- later discovered when playing around with the source. It was a copy/paste job from RobboLito -- I believe Sentinel and Kranium added it.

- Auto CPU cores detection is in the source code but disabled by default. So it is enabled and called in main. TitanicCPUsSizings renamed to Threads.

- Pawn Hash is set to 2 MB by default in the source code. Left it at default in some builds while others use 4 MB or 8 MB.

- Send currmove is off by default in the source code, but on by compile.

- Added POPCNT code for 32-bit Windows builds. But of course you should be running a 64-bit OS if your CPU supports POPCNT.

- AllowInstantMoveFromHash default is off by compile as of 999954 if am not mistaken.

- After running 3000 games, 2 additional time management adjustments disabled by default in the source code are enabled in 999953 (this is the file that was just re-uploaded).

- 999953 should also now display cpuload correctly -- copy/pasted code from RobboLito.

- DoHashFull default is off by compile as of 999953. It has no use in game play.

All in all, I think more credit is being given me than is deserved.

Thanks,

Franklin

We say..
Well very inconsideratly the name remains the same,and a weak attempt of sarcasam ruins the explanation iprovided,

"Sigh " Not "QUITE" the case leaves much to speculation , perhaps Franklin is a polatician in another guise

Better at compileing than he at sarcasam ,but the explanation though WELL overdue is welcomed
Is it any stronger remains to be seen as if its not he wastes all our time as it is joint strongest ivan now , so congratulations and please be more considerate as to renameing future re uploads it hardly takes much effort to simply add a suffix letter

only a tich of empathy or consideration for others required
