New version chess engine: Tenax 1.0 (Windows and Linux)

Tenax (a Latin term meaning tenacious) is a UCI compatible chess engine written in ANSI C.  ------------------  TENAX ver. 1.0.0 ------------------ Tenax is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ----------------------------- Tenax is a UCI chess engine written in C and started as a private hobby project to see the engine improve over previous versions. This version of Tenax has support for Syzygybases. Tenax is an AB chess engine and evaluates positions with a neural network, for this reason requires a CPU with the SSSE3 instruction set (which almost all CPUs have), and will not run on systems lacking these instructions. AVX/AVX2 have become ubiquitous in modern processor design, and are necessary to capitalize on the full strength of Neural Network method. Users with Intel CPUs containing BMI2 support (also known as PEXT), should use the BMI2 binary for optima
