Milady 2.72

Please don't use the 2.71 which is not so strong. The 2.72 seems not so bad (it is for me the 2.72d).
Compared to 2.71, this version has an improved move ordering (hanging pieces are placed in the first places in the list), and the nullmove conditions are modified (Eval is no more compared to beta, when the nullmove score is not greater than beta the move is considered tactical). I really hope it is stronger than the previous versions (it made 7.5/11 in the 16th Chesswar promotion, with some luck, so that I am very proud :-) )

Milady 2.71 available

It consists in : the 2.40 version with a Null-Move supposed to work (but not sure to be efficient in all the situations, i.e. zugzwang), and also a lot of special endings which are very useful (Bad bishop,. bishop+pawn,...). Seems to give some elo points, I would say 100 elo. My testing methodology is to play tournaments against different opponents of approximately the same level, including also the previous version of Milady.

I am working since several monthes on new versions. Today they seem much weaker than the 2.40. So that I have updated the download links to 2.22, 2.30, 2.40 versions, thanks to Norbert to reported the broken ones.
Enjoy !
