It's a new bitboard program approaching it's first stable version (last week I
still discovered a bug in my move generator, in a weird position but even these
show up from time to time). It's aimed to do "fine" (let's say try to) at blitz
time controls (255 WACs / 5 secs) though I have to add quite some knowledge yet
(pepito hasn't heard about pawn storming... when castled to the same sides it
draws often to gnuchess 4 and beats it rarely). When I fix some communication
problems with Xboard I'll go for its first public release, currently Linux only
(well, I've ported it with cygwin but my binary seems to be a lot slower in
windows 30-40%. Got no idea why this happens...). Anyway, I don't expect to see
Pepito in any tournament in the next month, I'll try to get it ready for the
spanish tournament (December? I'd appreciate any info).
