New engine from Russia

[Vempele]

to be more precise Strelka in russian means Little Arrow

Feel free to use it.

Nice logo. By the way, Strelka was also the name of one of the first dogs sent to space.

After 93 games at 60/1, it seems to be around Toga's strength. There's a lot of potential in Strelka, that's for sure!

Nice logo.

Thanks.

I'd like somebody to post what the wb2uci.eng file for Strelka should look like.

Regards, Graham.

About a chess engine anything interesting I can not tell. Anything original there is not present.

I dislike it.
Even cloners who modify fruit or glaurung may have some original ideas in their changes.

If there is nothing original in this engine we do not need it regardless of playing strength.

Maybe the translation of Dann corbit is bad but I dislike what I read.

Hi Graham,
a standard wb2uci.eng like the following is enough to run Strelka under a Chessbase GUI with time controls like 40 moves in 5 minutes:

[ENGINE]
Name=Strelka_10b
Author=Juri Osipov
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=Strelka.exe

You seem to be obsessed with those smiley faces lately, it will only last until you see me.
