In the big battle Stockfish vs Komodo leads… Gull!

[reflectionofpower]

The part no one seems to be mentioning is both Stockfish and Gull are free engines

Not to mention open source. Stockfish would never have been so strong if it were closed source, and testing were not done in the manner that it is now. Gull is wonderful, too, for such a small amount of source code.

This is true.

What a difference a few days has made. Gull is fading fast.

[MikeB]

Besides being free, most remarkable is that the source code has 7,069 lines of code - that's it. It kills current Crafty as do Stockfish and Komodo.

Was hoping somebody could show me how to compile a Mac version.

I suppose you can run GULL on parallels.
