The new version is ready....and it is about 20 elo stronger thant the previous.

The change log :
- Large pages support with automatic detection
- "Unlimited" hash size
- Tuned evaluation
- New move ordering

This is the result of last test against the 1.2c

Code:: Games Completed = 4000 of 4000 (Avg game length = 29.577 sec) Settings = RR/128MB/10000ms+100ms/M 700000cp for 7 moves, D 150 moves/EPD:C:\Users\Matteo D'Annibale\Documents\LittleBlitzer-2.72\Opening.epd(4000) Time = 17399 sec elapsed, 0 sec remaining 1.

I got the 32 bit windows version of the engine

but when I ran it

it says

it can't find kernel32.dll

then I got the dll and installed it like I have done this numerously

but the engine still says the engine cannot find the dll

This is the problem.
`The procedure entry point GetLargePageMinimum could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNELL32.dll`
I will prepare a "special" version without the largepages ASAP.

yes that is the message and that is why some ppl with old 32 bit computers can't run the engine clap

Yes, days....but without any specific test (al my PCs support large pages).

Some news.....
* Added the file BlackMamba_1.4_Win32_NLP for the systems that doesn't support the large pages and got the error related to KERNEL32.dll
* Recompiled the mac version that now runs on OSX 10.5 or above.

The NLP version is not tested.

I downloaded the NLP version
and followed the instruction manual in the readme file

but after installing the dll file

I still get the error message
and the engine can't be run

The procedure entry point GetLargePageMinimum could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNELL32.dll

like the readme file says

this problem only occurs to some ppl
or maybe this problem occurs to many

maybe we could have a 32 bit version which doesn't require dll files thumb up

>>>

the following is the content of the readme file

>>>

This file was downloaded from: http://www.dll-files.com

If you downloaded it from somewhere else, please let us know: http://www.dll-files.com/contact.php

Installation instructions:

Extract the .dll file from .zip file. We recommend that you extract the .dll to the installation directory of the program that is requesting the .dll.

If that doesn't work, you will have to extract the .dll to your system directory. By default, this is:
C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me)
C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000)
C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, win 8)
If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also place the .dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
Make sure to overwrite any existing files (but make a backup copy of the original file for safety).
Reboot your computer.

If the problem still occurs, try the following:
Open Windows Start menu and select "Run...".
Type CMD and press Enter (or if you use Windows ME, type COMMAND)).
Type regsvr32 <filename>.dll and press Enter.

If you have any other problems, see our HELP-section at www.dll-files.com/support/

Hope this helps!

the new NLP compile works fine
when the .exe is run by itself in DOS mode

but when the engine is run under winboard or other GUIs
the engine cannot be loaded like the below confused
