Alpha 22 release won't be for a while
4/11/2006
Work on Witz is stagnating becase of a lot of work load from college and other buisness. Nevertheless I will certainly work on it as time allows. Expect a release no later than 4 months.
Tournament Book 1.1 Released

A much better opening book made from many top quality games. Much thanks to IM Gaston to provide the pgn file.
Huge bug in Alpha21
3/24/2006
I found a terrible mistake in the eval tuning. Witz goes for bad pawn structures because I have the piece square tables for bad pawns as positive scores instead of negative scores! I fixed this and re-upload a new A21 with a better config file.
Alpha21 Released

A hurried release before spring break.
