Rilasciato aggiornamento Prédateur 2.2.1 UCI compatible chess engine per Windows 32/64bit, OSX Intel e MorphOS PowerPC.

Prédateur is "just" a chess engine, i.e. it is a brain with no legs nor arms. You'll need a graphical chess interface to run it, one that handles the UCI protocol (Universal Chess Interface). My personal choise is the great Arena interface : it is free and has too many options and functions for you to test them all in your whole life.
But Prédateur will also work well in Chessbase's interfaces (Fritz,..), Shredder's and even under Winboard using Fabien Letouzay's Polyglot adaptor.

... ... ...

On MorphOS, there is no UCI compatible chess interface (except maybe Jose if you manage to make it run), so you'll have to run Prédateur in a shell and use UCI commands (read more about this protocole here : http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/UCIProtocol.html ), for instance:
> ucinewgame
> go movetime 10000
(10000 is a time in milliseconds).
Hopefully someone will get motivated enough to program a UCI compatible interface for the AmigaOSes...

+---------------------+
- fixed the ponder mode bug
- fixed the time bug
- x32 version works again
- corrected a PST that mistakenly wasn't identical for both sides
- a few tweaks here and there
- Prédateur doesn't stop searching when it finds a mate anymore. That way it keeps searching while it still has time and maybe find a shorter one.
- made all uci options lowercase (does CuteChess still protest?)

peccato per la mancanza di interfaccia grafica sotto MOS
