newmainsworthy need ACE engine to test? can u test aswell

Post by mainsworthy2 »

Hello , Ive been toying with mainsworthy for some time!+ some moves were obviously not best with the Queen, I Think Ive fixed this with the new version

I cant find the Engine I tested the old engine for legal moves "ACE" (ACE was great for development but a new install meant I lost it) does anyone have the link? and would you kind sirs test my engine with whatever Winboard engine you have for legality?

thanks Mark

unzips and works fine.
Ace is weaker than most commercial engines.
