GNU Chess 5.08 is an improved 5.07. Its not much stronger (cf. my list), but the last modif was in 2011. I tested it because I needed a weak engine, to make sure that Beowulf Doublecheck Jazz and Sungorus had significant ratings. So I chose it on purpose.

If you want to include a weaker engine, you could also give Sjaak a try (it's also GPL).

I will
I need to test these 3 before though
- Pepito 1.59
- Greko 8.2
- Simplex 0.9.8
I'll probably rename this list to Open Blitz instead, since I will be testing open source engines that are not licensed under the GNU GPL.

Patience my friend, patience... I will add them one by one. I only have one spare computer for testing.

Very interesting list, I'm also an open source fan, whatever the strength of the engine.

I tried it and it kept crashing... There must be a problem with the Xboard interfacing code. Otherwise, I'd love to test it

Glad to see that some people still understand the spirit of free software nowadays

I would love to test the new Sungorus derivative, if I can get a 64-bit Linux compile. Is the code likely to be portable ? Or is it going to be MSVC//Windows only ?
