New chess engine - DoubleCheck 1.0 (Lucas Braesch)

Lucas, I made some (probably slow) compiles of your program for Windows. Do you mind if I share these with the world?

Hopefully Lucas will agree. I wouldn't mind a 32-bit Windows compile.

I don't mind at all. Sharing is GOOD, sharing is NOT piracy, sharing has nothing to do with attacking a ship and killing everyone abord That's what the GNU GPL is all about!

However, don't forget to include the source code and the license agreement along with the windows compile (that's how the GNU GPL protects free software from becoming evil proprietary software)

Anyway, it's all explained in the last section of my readme.txt, as well as in the preambule of the copying.txt file (GNU GPL v3)

Thank you

Actually 32 bit compatibility requires some rewriting of a few bitboard functions (regardless of windows or posix plateform). It's not a lot of work, but I can't be bothered for now. Maybe one day, if I feel in the mood for 32 bit code...?

I was looking at your compile, assuming it was a Windows one because the file name ended in .exe. Silly me.

Actually you can't be blamed for that! An *.exe file should always be a Windows executable. It is quite silly to name a Linux executable with a .exe extension at the end (although it works and linux doesn't care about file extensions).
I think the renaming was done by Leo before he put it on the WBEC site. I send him an email so he can correct it. It is confusing indeed

Thank you. I had to add a couple of publicly available header files for inttypes.h and stdbool.h, because the compiler I used was not C99 compatible. Both of these header files appear to be GPL compliant, and I included them in the package. I didn't do any PGO or too many advanced command line compilation options, so I'm sure someone brighter than me can make a faster compile if they so wish.

I placed the compiles here:

I've had a few people tell me that they had trouble downloading from my personal web space, so I have an alternate download location here if the above link doesn't work:

I think this will be useful to a lot of people, since most use Windows.

Hi Lucas,

I can't speak for Leo, but I saved the attachment that you emailed me and put it straight onto the CCRL public forum for others to get. I did nothing at all to the name of the file.

Cheers,
Graham.
