Hello.
This is my page with engine-chess related 'things'.

Polyglot 1.4w 

Runs without the need for cygwin1.dll,compilable with MSVC.

Polyglot 1.4w is  based on polyglot 1.3w* that was adapted to run without cygwin1.dll and can be compiled with MSVC.
I have ported the changes to polyglot 1.4.Also some minor changes have been made f.i. eliminating sporadic timelosses.
Tested on amd opteron 275(winxp32) and on  intel duo2core(Vista) in 1+1 and ponder tournament games with predefined start-positions.

See the README2.TXT in the zip(source and executable).
