- This is the second release of PM Gnu Chess 4.0.
- This release fixed the following bugs:
- 1. Pawn promotion
- Now you can promote your pawn to queen.
- Promotion to other pieces is not working yet. The chess engine
- of this version only does this much.
- 2. Some message events
- When game is ended the proper message box pops up instead of
- doing nothing in the early release.
- 3. Color settings now are saved for next time.
- 4. Fixed/changed "new" game command
- The "new" command used to cause some problems. Hopefully this is fixed.
- Some improvements:
- a. If white is on the top, "new" command assumes the
- player wants to play as black and it immediately makes move as white;
- b. You can issue "new" game command any time now.
- c. "new" game will not reset deep thinking to default (disable) now.
-
- Known bug:
- Occasionally Computer make a quick move and claim "computer will soon mate"
- This problem is only found in the deep thinking mode. Take back the move and
- let computer make move again. Do followings:
- 1. Ctrl+S, Stop computer thinking.
- 2. Ctrl+R, Take back move
- 3. make move,
- 4. Ctrl+D, Set Deep thinking agian.
-
- I am not sure what causes the problem yet.
- Send bug report to yfan@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca.

- Have fun!
