Releasing my (bad) engine.

If someone wants an amateur engine riddled with bugs, there is a Windows version available here:

Just to spread the word.

Is it called "Bubble chess" or just "Bubble"? It doesn't support edit mode. So It's not possible for me to use it in test sets.

Thanks for the release though, It ain't bad at all, It plays fairly well - It just defeated Samchess which btw is rated around 1800, that's the main criteria for me - new engine has to defeat Samchess in order to be tested frequently.

Just "Bubble", which is consistent with how it names itself to Winboard/UCI (Bubble 1.3.2).

It only supports setboard, because I thought edit was too much of a hassle to support, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem that hard (analyze, on the other hand, may take a little longer).

I'll update it with an edit mode as soon as I can (timezone considerations forbid me to do this in the next 12 hours)

Thanks for your engine Felipe.
It plays ok.

Best,

Gerold.

From the website :

Code: Select all

Black pawns now capture white pieces ...

That was definitely an improvement
In next version, please let white pawns capture black pieces also.

I've updated the program on the website with edit mode support.

I wanted to bump the version to 1.3.2e or something like that, but I overwrote the last version by mistake, so that won't be possible...
