SUPRA 13.0

- Internal clock: better time control.
- Internal iterative deepening until level deph=4 allowing a much better level ordering until deph=4.
- FENstring compatibility: SUPRA is now able to play games whose position is defined by the user and can thus play variants of traditional chess game such as chess 960!
- Better interaction with the GUI: SUPRA now sends additional information to the GUI such as use of memory.
- Error correction in filtering that did not allow SUPRA properly analyze future promotions.

Supra 13.1

Changes:

error (of the internal iterative depening) detected and corrected after shahinjy warning me of poor performance of SUPRA 13.0 in his tournaments (thanks shahinjy for your work in your test!)

SUPRA 13.2

- New pieces value suggested by shahinjy (thanks shahinjy!) and consistently more effective: queen=90 (instead of 100) decipawn; horse=32 (instead of 35) decipawn; Bishop=33 (instead of 30) decipawn. Tower maintains 50 decipawn and pawn maintains 10 decipawn.

• Substantial improvement of extra evaluation.
  
• Calibration of the vertical filter.
  
• Correction and activation of PVS.
  
• Set of small improvements.
  
• Implementation logarithms in the evaluation function (only in Supra 21.0;  Supra 21.0 pro don t use logarithms and is 50 elo stronger than Supra 21.0)
  

Logarithms (which can be calibrated trough of parameters: quotient material, Positional relevance and mobility)  give to Supra the ability to give in to a maximum of 1 pawn due to substantial gain in position or quotient material. Although seems be advantageous to  this capability it is not properly calibrated.

Like all previous versions Supra 21.0 pro still overstates the change stuff and never makes sacrifices of pieces.
