DS homebrew announcements > DSchess 0.4

Happy easter,
here is a late present for you: DSChess 0.4

I have changed a lot in this version, the engine becomes stronger, while at the same time becoming weaker. How does that works?
On the one hand I have optimized the memory management and hash tables, this leads to a more than 50% search speed increase, on the other I have added a level system. There are eleven playing strengths for beginners, now even a not very experienced player should beat his Nintendo DS at level one (Important: Start a new game after changing the level!).
Additionally you can now beat your friend on one DS (H vs. H).
Furthermore a lot of bugs were fixed and some more features were implemented. Look at the Changelog for more details.

As usual you get the latest version here: http://www.vonloesch.de/dschess

Hope you like it, your feedback is always welcome.

Level 1 was two times strong enough to beat me in a speed chess match. I will give it another serious try, maybe I did not loose all my chess abilities!
