Crafty 23.8
http://www.kikrtech.com/

1. The crash with egtbs has been fixed. Was related to the "hash the PV" code. After an EGTB hit, I call "HashStore" to save the position/score to avoid doing another egtb probe for the same position. Unfortunately, there was a way I failed to update the PV (value >= beta) which broke HashStore since the PV contained garbage. Bad moves wreck things later. It is fixed in this version

2. Max depth is now 128, and PVs can also be 128 moves long, since the PV hash code works so well this seemed advisable to prevent a few short PVs (with just 64 moves in them).

Once the engie is installed in arena, and is ready to play;rihgt click on the name of the engine below the board. Now it appears a square and at the top it says: configure example: houdini.thean another square appears and where it says threads you choose the number. and thats it. It is easier than it looks. Good luck and enjoy.

I know the way to configure an engine, and the way you described works with every engine except crafty... thats why I post my question
