6.2. New automatic Engine Analysis Options
Main menu: Engines->Play against an engine
Users requested a better way to play games against the computer, and so we have added a
new dialog box that opens whenever a game with the computer is requested. This dialog box
allows you to specify all the most important options for play against the computer
Figure 5, select your game play options, and the game will start
We feel that this approach is superior to many other implementations, since it allows the most used options to be configured from one dialog, rather than having the user hunt through menus for changing them.
7.2. Improved Winboard/UCI Support
We have improved winboard/UCI support for CA, and you should find that many engines run within the CA interface. There are over 50 winboard engines that have been tested, and run within CA. As with version 6 of CA, engines without their own opening book can use CA's comprehensive book functions.
7.3. Opening Book Improvements
There has been a significant overhaul of the opening book function in CA 7. This has lead to the simplification of the manner in which the book functions, and moves are selected by the engine. This new approach is user-friendly, and is based on fuzzy-logic principles. The manual contains full documentation of the approach.
7.4. Improvements to Test Suite Mode
Test suite mode is now much easier to use, with a redesigned interface, and a more user-friendly way of assigning points to completed test positions.
