Want to make a quick US$30?

Too bad they are asking for UCI, and not WinBoard! I could have gotten $2.50 per line on micro-Max!

No chance, even if your engine was UCI...

The chess engine must support EGTB which is EndGame tablebases, it must have an openingbook, it must also have a learning feature. This will be on going project which means continuous testing and fixing, I want the engine to be pretty strong and not an amateur engine.

Description: I want a Chess Engine Programmed, it must be in UCI "Universal Chess Interference" more information on the topic can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Chess_Interface

How does this clown think that he can get a professional to work for a few cents per hour?

It's like a guy walking into a whorehouse to check out the goods while having only a quarter in his pocket. Not going to see much action, that's for sure.

Maybe it is the guy from Deep Delta Chess looking for an engine

I never knew Ben Lau hailed from India... or maybe it's that annoying guy with that annoying web site from rec.games.chess.computer

Folks, you'd better act fast. There are already 9 (!) bids on the project, and the bidding ends in 12 days.
