What is the strongest blitz engine ?

Post by Lion »

Hello,

With lots of new engines on playchess, i.e. Brainfish, Raubfish, AsmFishW, I am now wondering what are the differences between these, which one is the strongest in blitz and where to download it ?

Thanks for your input/help

Whatever Raubfisch is, the link takes you to a web page that requires you to pay for it. If it is based on Stockfish, this is against it's distribution rules.

That page just asks for donations for its website. It is not charging for the Raubsich engine. I just downloaded it free of charge a minute ago.

I just get a page that says "StarGames is going to make you a millionaire. Please click OK." No. Could you check for us if it includes anything resembling sources? Probably not I fear?

are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

You get a free chess engine and you'll become a millionaire. Why are you complaining? :lol:

It would probably be morally wrong but I don't believe that is would be against any distribution rules, assuming the source comes with the download, unless SF has other form of GPL.
