Fyi, there is another engine that can play crazyhouse, called Feuerstein. The link used to be http://people.freenet.de/FritzSchach/ but it's a dead link now. I think it was open source (in Pascal).
Its handle on FICS is "Thukydides" with a crazyhouse rating of 2263.

Re: Crazyhouse tournaments and rating list
I just sent a message to Ola, he has done a zh tour in the past including this engine.TonyJH wrote:Fyi, there is another engine that can play crazyhouse, called Feuerstein. The link used to be http://people.freenet.de/FritzSchach/ but it's a dead link now. I think it was open source (in Pascal).

Re: Crazyhouse tournaments and rating list
Crazybot was created by one of the Sunsetter authors. I thought it may be a weakened version of Sunsetter, but I'm not sure.Carlos777 wrote: This is interesting:

Re: Crazyhouse tournaments and rating list
I got Feuerstein 0.4.6.1 32bit from Ola. I apply inbetween to it because it does not say feature variants="crazyhouse", and Winboard 4.8.0b and Cute Chess do not like that. It looks fine so far now, but I need more tests.TonyJH wrote:Fyi, there is another engine that can play crazyhouse, called Feuerstein.

Also Cute Chess gui does not identify it as an engine that can play crazyhouse. Even when inbetween is applied, Cute Chess still refuses it to accept as a zh engine.
So I am not testing it and including it in the zh rating list.
