Author: Stéphane Nicolet Date: Sun Sep 25 10:45:10 2016 +0200 Timestamp: 1474793110 Rename shift_bb() to shift() Rename shift_bb() to shift(), and DELTA_S to SOUTH, etc. to improve code readability, especially in evaluate.cpp when they are used together: old b = shift_bb<DELTA_S>(pos.pieces(PAWN)) new b = shift<SOUTH>(pos.pieces(PAWN)) While there fix some small code style issues. No functional change.

Spotted and reported by Dann Corbit. Added some mate/stalemate positions to bench so to early catch this regression in the future. No functional change.

Overall, the simpler patch version is 0.3% than current master. No functional change.

Komodo 10.1 Chess Base GUI

Komodo 10 Chessbase GUI

Languages:	English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch
ISBN:	978-3-86681-534-6
EAN:	9783866815346

The new number one has arrived! Thanks to a host of extensive improvements and fine tweaking, the latest version of Komodo has again gained over 60 Elo points on its predecessor. The changes cover several areas: the evaluation function has been significantly sharpened, particularly with respect to king safety and endgame positions, and the search algorithm has been improved and optimized to run on multiple processors. Komodo 10 is also better at managing its time, and just generally calculates faster.

The result is an unbeatable combination - the strongest chess engine ever running on the best and most popular user interface around. As it comes with the Fritz 15 GUI,Komodo, as well as chess prowess, offers all the training and playing functions you know from Fritz, including direct access to the Chess- Base Web Apps such as Live Database, the ChessBase video portal, our tactics server and more!

Komodo’s intelligent and results- driven evaluations have also proven extremely effective in practice and are reflected in the engine’s playing style. If Komodo 10 considers its position to be advantageous, it avoids exchanges and seeks to open the position, but when defending a worse position, it strives to exchange pieces and block the position, in an attempt to push the game towards a draw.

It also recently demonstrated its exceptional playing strength in a series of matches against grandmasters, including the current world #6, Hikaru Nakamura. Komodo remained unbeaten in over 50 games in which it gave its human opponents a material advantage or several free moves (with the exception of only a few games in which the handicap consisted of two important pawns or the f7 pawn and three free moves) - Komodo even beat Nakamura 2.5 to 1.5!

This ultra-strong engine has won three of the last four TCEC championships, making it a multiple winner of the most prestigious prize in computer chess. What is more, at tournament time controls, Komodo is #1 in the majority of rating lists.

Komodo Chess 10 comes with:

• New 64-bit multi-processor engine (optionally 32-bit)
• Latest Fritz 15 64-bit user interface (optionally 32-bit)
• Premium membership for the all new ChessBase Web Apps and playchess.com (six months)

here's the last CB-Patch version 6.7 (updated 15.7.2016!):
You find it in the attachment at the bottom!

There are 3 possible options (of course it also works as before without any commandline option, and "CB-Patch /?" shows these options):

1) CB-Patch /t ..... just test if the GUI program can be patched
2) CB-Patch /p ..... create a Patch.pat file, but don't patch
3) CB-Patch /tp ..... test if GUI program is already patched: useful for checking GUIs without a Patch.pat (where CB-Patch fails), if the GUI might already be a patched version

Short description of CB-Patch:
CB-Patch patches all 32-bit (!) ChessBase-GUIs (F4-F15, CB6-CB13, CBLight)!
For older GUIs it removes the CD-check for all ChessBase engines (engines which have their own CD-check must of course be patched themselves).
For the newer GUIs F12-F15, CB10-13 and CBLight it additionally allows to activate the GUI with ANY serial number you like
(of course these faked serials don't work for the PlayChess server!).
To use it just copy CB-Patch.exe into the folder of your ChessBase/Fritz-GUI and run it. It creates a file Patch.pat
(for newer versions also PatchAT.pat) in this folder which should not be deleted, because if this file exists you can undo
the patch (i.e. restore the original GUI) by running CB-Patch once more.
Whenever you update your GUI you have to run CB-Patch again.

Code:

Installation guide for F12-15 and CB11-13:
==========================================
(for a full 'first-time' installation)

1. install the program (don't start it after the installation!)
2. copy the latest CB-Patch.exe into the installation folder
3. run CB-Patch.exe (this patches the program and ChessBaseAdminTool)
4. start the program: when the activation dialog comes up, enter ANY
  serial number for the 'Activation key' and the 4 shown letters,
  and click at 'Ok'. (IF it asks for activation then click at 'Abort',
  i.e. DON'T activate the program at this moment, because this would do
  an online activation)!
5. close the program and re-open it again -
  it may once more ask for activation, choose 'Abort' again!.
  (instead of re-opening you can also start ChessBaseAdminTool and
  enter the numbers of point 6. directly here)
6. open the menu 'File > Activation > Activate Offline' and enter
  the SAME serial number in the top field, then the 4 shown letters
  and finally fill the bottom field with ANY numbers and click [OK].

If you have any further questions or feature requests about CB-Patch feel free to post it here in this thread ...
Also if CB-Patch doesn't seem to work for any of your ChessBase-GUIs, then please post it here and include the full output of CB-Patch and the version, size and date of the GUI. In this case you may already have a patched GUI (and the correct Patch.pat is missing), or you've really found a new version which CB-Patch doesn't yet handle (in this case I'll try of course to improve my patcher).

For activating 64-bit CB programs you can use CB_Keygen 2.2 (updated version!):
