Yet another chess engine

[jefk]

Yace was quite a decent (*) engine (**), book making was similar to Crafty; and a regarding a tiny few points
imo a little bit better; once upon a -long time- ago i made it's opening book for a CSVN tourn
(and also was the operator) https://www.vrichey.de/leiden/
Nostalgia maybe
(*) in the sense of a moderately strong, quite solid program; and mr DB was a decent guy btw
(in the other -sociological- sense); presumably still the same; wisely, he apparently abandoned
computer chess
(**) nowadays when people looking for winboard engines for whatever reasons, it's still an
interesting engine (going to include again in my chessgambiteer package (with which i
produced these awesome brilliancy&beauty games

November 15+16 there's again a CSVN tournament!
(hint)

next November a new Csvn tournament ? apparently it's a programmers tourn
https://www.csvn.nl/index.php/verenigin ... 6-november

cool anyway, if -honest- derivatives are allowed - as it was years ago- i can participate with the awesome
now almost revived Djengis winboard engine (based on mscp1.x by the late kervinck but with more stuff )
but still only -limited to- Elo 1700 or so in default mode (*) Nevertheless now with an (book) author
modestly but also truely being the world's biggest gambit inventor (after a certain well respected
nr 2 mr Zilbermints in the NY Manhattan chess club ) will there be beer as usual ? ah well it's anyway
approx 20 mins from my location with a cab; can have a look anyway
once i can transform the engine to using my polyglot gambit book it may even be more awesome.
As for playing strength (cq engine originality), i don't care, will not steal/copy (more) code,
and too old now to start from 'scratch', something which nobody does completely anyway.

(*) deliberately; my engine should play in human style; in default settings;
accidentally, it may play stronger (later) if not handicapped, but then not aiming
anyway for superGM strength (except maybe surpassing Carlsen or so
when disabling some handicap settings )

Last year there was plenty beer. It is still (again) in Leids' denksportcentrum which has beer, tosti's and expensive coffee.
I'll participate with Dog on a microcontroller, about 1951 elo.
