This sounds interesting! I have a newer version of TJchess (not on my website yet) which I'd like to join.

Great. I pm'ed Daniel and said he will try to fix the issue with Nebiyu and would compile a version that supports MP. So We will probably start the elimination by 1st week of October. I also notice one of the original authors of Sunsetter, and he is fixing some issues with Sunsetter too.

I tried to search Andrew Fan the author of KKFChess but could not get his contact info. There seems to be a KKFChess 2.6.7.

I have not contacted Gian yet, later I will contact him too if he could at least fix the issue in Sjeng 11.2, or perhaps he has a new version.

Notice I created a zh support site here, so we can gather all the playing zh engines.

https://sites.google.com/site/zhassocia ... -zh-engine

I plan to actually rename the championships name to
1st CCVA Computer Championships.

Sjeng was the first World computer champion in Crazyhouse that was in year 2000.

Writing just to let you know that I am interested and glad to see the growing amount of crazyhouse7zh/w23 engines.

After 15+ years I picked up looking at the sunsetter code again and have done some improvements, so let me know when you start and I'll send you a current version :-).

I am waiting from nebiyu's update. I will let you know when this will be started. Perhaps update from sjeng too.

What about Stockfish-variant? That also plays Crazyhouse, doesn't it?
