I need chess engines coded in java

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

Sorry, if this is off-topic here, but I need chess engines coded in java (with file extension "jar").
Any links to such rarities would be much appreciated.
Alternatively, you could send zipped stuff to mgemuh[@]yahoo{.}com.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Hi Matthias, is there a particular engine you are looking for? I have a few .jar file based engines here, but I don't want to clutter your mailbox with something you already have.

Hi Tony,

I have Olithink412, Frittle and one other java engine (lost here among 1200 engines :wink: ).
I don't think I could have too many java engines.
I like them now because they run fine under ChessGUI.
Thanks for what you can send to my yahoo box.

I remember once reading the source code for an engine written in Java and it used very descriptive variables so that almost anyone could follow the logic of the program whether they programmed or not. I wish I could find it again.

Was it KingsOut? I found its source easy to read, and it was well documented. A bit over-engineered though, which is the nature of Java.
