Hi Swami,

The good link for Jim's compile http://homepages.tesco.net/henry.ablett/jims.html.

The engine doesn't work in Fritz ou Shredder GUI. In Arena the command line -mode uci must be added.

The last version is Poor Little Pinkus ee569f0

Hi Patrick, Yes I read the readme file and found out that the command line parameter of -mode uci must be entered in Engine details in Arena.

It's not really a slow engine, it does show the pv lines faster which is not very usual for many new engines. It does understand Bishop vs Knight and re-capturing well which says one thing that there's good code regarding the trading off of the pieces.

Swami

Hi Swami,

can you please tell me some engines that Pinkus is roughly the same strength as?

Cheers,
Graham.

Hello Graham,
