Hi,

A new version (2.01) of my Shocky II shogi game engine is now available.
It plays normal 9x9 shogi and micro-shogi much stronger than its
predecessor. Now you can also make some modifications to the game engines
setup like change the search depth and limit the thinking time. More
information about the game engine can be found from the Shocky II page:

        http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~pmturune/Shocky2.html

You can also download a simple but fully playable demo application
(for Windows 95) from page:

        http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~pmturune/Shocky2demo.html

The demo application has some new functionality like saving and loading
games and undoing moves. If you want to be up-to-date with the latest
information on Shocky, keep watching the Shocky News at the Shocky main
page:

If you have any kind of comments on Shocky, please send email to me.


All the best,

Pauli Misikangas
