Hey everyone. I've spent the last few sleepless nights completely rewriting the artificial intelligence from the ground up to bring you the brand new AI AEON Bot V1.6.
I want to thank the community for the feedback, especially Tflex for pointing out the missing features ("Missing some chess moves: castling, en passant etc"). I took that to heart, and the engine is now fully FIDE compliant. A big thanks also to Theodore Capitani Kurnatowski II, ツ, Richard, † ZzZ シ, l, Protox, sadvolk, and ActuallyZee for taking the time to play and leave your reviews. Your feedback is what keeps this project moving forward.
🎁 Added
- New update: Introduced the brand new AI AEON Bot V1.6.
- Full FIDE Rules: The bot and the players can now properly perform Castling (Kingside & Queenside) and En Passant!
- Draw Rules: The game now automatically detects the 50-Move Rule, Threefold Repetition, and Insufficient Material.
🚀 Improved
- Positional Awareness: The AI "Instinct" (Piece-Square Tables) was completely rewritten. It now perfectly understands board geography and positioning
🔧 Fixed
- Fixed S&box Engine hangs/freezes (CSwapChainBase) on Extreme and Impossible difficulties. The game will now stay incredibly smooth while the AI thinks.
- Fixed random array crashes and illegal moves caused by artificial blunders.
- Improved overall code stability and Zero-GC (Garbage Collection) memory handling.
