New version ! Using new search algoritms this version is estimated 80 points stonger than the 2004 version. With Chess Tiger 2007 another jump forward is made, this version has a totally new search algorithm that makes the program 4 to 8 times faster at long time controls. This is where most of the strength improvement came from. But the engine also features new positional knowledge: • pins by bishops (there was a bug in CT2004: it would actually AVOID making pins!) • pawn majorities 2 vs 1 and how to block them when it is possible. • more passed pawn knowledge. • ...and more. CT2007 is estimated 80+ elo points stronger at blitz than CT2004 (on a fast computer), and much stronger at long time controls. We still do not know exactly how much stronger it is. As a Lokasoft special we have included a UCI version of the engine, this version can not only be used in ChessPartner, but also in other GUI's such as Chessbase and Arena. Download version available now! CD-ROM versions are expected first week of januari, 2007. Buy in our online shop here....

In order to use the make the engine UCI compatible a UCI interface module is included. This interface module makes it possible to use the engine in your fovorite interface. Currently this module is somewhat experimental, this means there may be some problems in some combinations of interfaces. As we continue to improve this module we expect it to work with most interfaces.

Known issues at 27 december 2006

None.

In order to improve this module your feedback is appreaciated. Feedback can be reported through the support form.

Some step by step instruction for how to use the engine in other interfaces can be found here:
