You have my permission, although be warned that it plays extremely weak on a desktop computer, never mind a mobile... Hopefully later versions can change this.
Aart: test it against pos, it'll be interesting :-)

Quick tournament in Chess for Android against similar engines. Since Iota takes about 10 seconds per move on my Nexus One, I gave the other engines the same amount of time per move. Played with 10 random openings from built-in book.

The Iota binary for ARM-based Android devices can be found at UCI and XBoard engines for Android.

Code: Select all

Iota - Chess for Android     0.0 - 10.0   +0/-10/=0   0.00%
Iota - umax48w               0.5 - 9.5    +0/-9/=1    5.00%
Iota - DeepBrutePos v1.6     9.5 - 0.5    +9/-0/=1    95.00%
Ah you did it already, that's great!
But it makes me worden if my alphaBeta code is correct.
Let me verify that in a post in a new thread.

I never realized there were more 'micro' engines, is picoChess released publicly? I would love learn more about it :).

Perhaps if there are enough competitors I might start some kind of 'micro' tournament.
