Copyright once again getting in the way of people's enjoyment, what a surprise.

The Windows version is still being sold commercially. Stop whinging and pay for it if you want it.

Yes, Chess Tiger has always been private commercial version, and has never been open source, and never will be. I wish Christophe will start working on it again, especially the PC version. There is not any money in mobile/smartphone chess...

Funny though that Christophe offers the more recent iPhone/iPad version for free. Chessbase still sells the ancient Chess Tiger 15, and Niggemann sells CT 2007. I thought Convekta and Lokasoft still sold Chess Tiger, but apparently not. I can't imagine he makes much money from that product any more. Maybe Christophe would be amenable to free the tiger if he is asked really nicely.

I have it. I bought it way back in the past in a local store, and only years later found out all they did was repackaging the pirate version for sale.

But I already used it thinking it was legal, so what to do? What to do? Realize in the end right or wrong are just human concepts and what matters are the consequences. I'd rather have a world where people are able to use it freely than one where they buy from pirates and the money doesn't go to the author anyway.

In this case it seems the smart ones were the people from the shop, both fooling the author and me.

HI,

Thanks for including Lozza.

She is on github now https://github.com/op12no2/lozza.

Thanks for the info!
Of course I know the github link already and others, but it's good to prepared for a new wayback archive.
A pity though that the browser ui for game play etc. will be closed.

Just by accident Tony Mokonen has offered a download of older versions too after my request (together with Ziggurat).

BTW will there be any speed difference or other advantages using a newer Node?
I just realized I never tried to update Node for at least five years.

Those links are currently in the XB/UCI chronology:

https://op12no2.github.io/lozza-ui/
http://tonyschess.x10host.com/OldLozzaZiggurat.7z

[BTW github repos will be never really saved to wayback, only the first main page html w/o any further deeper links
and zero sources and binaries - I just wanted to mention this - CPW made bad experiences with this for dozens of
already closed github repos meanwhile, which it linked too.

Hi Guenther,

The Lozza UI is alive in a different project to the engine itself - https://github.com/op12no2/lozza-ui - which can be used at https://op12no2.github.io/lozza-ui. I recently tweaked the project so that the play and mate-in-one UIs are more phone-friendly.

I don't think the version of node will make any difference as it' just a way to get access to stdin/out.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Colin. I have now exchanged the links for the lozza-ui.

I have seen that the site has an old Pedone's version, to have always the latest one I suggest to add a link to Pedone's webpage https://sites.google.com/site/pedonechess
