WHAT'S NEW
============
Read this section if you have used YChess1.08
* The board and piece colours are now adjustable
* Included command line options. This allows using a smaller hash-table
when there's little memory left under DOS.
* Included recapture search extensions. Modified passed pawn search
extensions. This release should play stronger than the previous one.
* The animation speed can now be adjusted using a slider
(not terribly useful).
* A minor change was made to the time-control.
BUG FIXES
=========
-> Corrected an error in the "Draw" Algorithm. YChess1.08 played into
draws for positions which should have been one.
-> Corrected an error involving PxPep move generation at the root.
-> Corrected an error which caused the program to hang when taking back
moves involving a PxPep capture.
