Hi,

I probably missed your first post. 
If you are having problems compiling it, it might have something to do with
your compiler? I had problems with an older version of the compile but when
I upgraded it worked just fine.'

I have precompiled versions of Gnuchess5. I have a few extra flags from the
original and gained quite afew % extra in speed from those. Just tell me
how much RAM you have and how much you want to use for gnuchess's
hashtables.

I have also versions where I tweaked the timemanaging abit and fixed the
book code .It has a bug where adding "!" and/or "?" would do the opposit
to what it is suppose to do. Not fun at all I tell you :)

Also, I have been working on a much better book and I constantly update it.
If you have access to ICC (www.chessclub.com) you can check out the handle
'gnuchess' there to see how it does with the new code and book.
