Version 1.9.7 is released!.

It really was not quite right with version 1.9.6, I thought it would be ranked higher than +40 ELO over 1.9.5 but only got +25 to +30 and, besides that, I have seen many games lost against engines ranked -100 or -200 ELO.

Based on that I have reviewed some of the testing procedures to try to avoid "surprises" when the version begins to play in

long time controls.

The new version shows 60% to 65% win perc. against 1.9.6 in almost all the tests I've done. I also see good and stable results against other strong engines that are part of the current set of Chronos's sparrings.

Finally, I dont know if 1.9.7 win +40 ELO over 1.9.6 (which is the goal of each new version), but I think it will improve the score in general and, most importantly, fix the things that do not like about 1.9.6!
