This is the day you have been waiting for! A new version of Shocky
(my legendary shogi program) has arrived and it's much more reliable
than earlier releases. I found and eliminated one tiny bug which
caused sudden crashes in versions 1.8 and 1.81. I'm not saying that
Shocky 1.82 is totally bug-free, but at least it should work much better
now.

You can download Shocky 1.82 from Shocky's homepage:

It would be very interesting to hear your opininons about Shocky's
playing strength. What might be Shocky's grade when it (or 'he')
plays using depth 5?

I hope you enjoy playing with Shocky!
