There is no 32bit build of this version. Andres copy&pasted my post at Immortal forum, but he left out these 2 lines:

Critter 1.4a - unofficial, unsupported, and only 64bit Sse4 build

and

No guarantees about being equal/stronger than plain 1.4

What is the difference between official and unofficial of this version - "Critter 1.4a" ? just a bugfix ?

How to set this engine work in own book ?
can some one tell me ? thx

How to set Crieter SSE 1.4a? Does he read books-used ctg opening? It acts as a very strong engine! Whether it is with autotune for SD? I tried but we do not accept. Is it any can be directly loaded Gaviota 3-4-5?


I would ask someone who knows to write more about optimization and use of this engine. Maybe gresim but I think Crieter 1.4a SSE engine No. 2 after Houdni2.0c Pro

This is Critter 1.4a 64-bit SSE4 options, as you can see you can select path to Gaviota and about its own book i see it uses book in cbk format, what you have to do is have that book in same folder with the engine.
