It is available as commercial program since a good number of years. I wrote a note about it, 10 or more years ago.
It is full of features and play not bad at all.
The aussie company that produces it is called Ark angles.
I am sure that for many of you would be an interesting curiosity...

A program long time ago. Yes! It had a beautiful GUI. Acceptable play. I think it's no longer available.

Re: Have you Ever Heard of Kchess Elite 4, aussie program??
I wonder which the rating of this program is.
In an old and by now deceased french chess computer magazine called "La Puce echiquienne" it was rated, in those years -10 or more ago-, as 2030. In a faster computer ans any of these days I would say it is worth 2100. I have played it and defeated it but no before a hard fight. Certainly is better than 1900, I guess.

I've played the program many many moons ago and with nowadays hardware I guess that 2100 Elo is a good estimation....fern wrote:I wonder which the rating of this program is.

KChess Elite has became a favorite rival for me. Enough strong to put serious opposition, enough weak to give a chance to win. It has lot of features and all in all is a great product.
Nevertheless, for many reasons never was reviewed seriously here or elsewhere. It is somewhat unfair.
Perhaps you should resurrect it and play it to compare notes, Doc...
You certainly are stronger player than me so your opinion would be valuable.

14.7 -9.4 blood pressure regards

Thanks, Gerd, I have already forgotten most of that stuff.
BTW, it is a shame, but I have never had the chance to play your program...
Where I can get one of them'
