Naraku Chess 1.12

[tmokonen]

I was Googling around, looking for new engines, and I came across this page:

http://www.miroku79.info/blog/?page_id=88

The author claims that it plays at approximately a 2720 elo rating. Version 1.12 was just released today, though I have to assume that this page has been around since July.

Legit? (I hate the fact that I would even have to ask this)

Hi Tony,
A good catch I have to admit


Naraku is a free strong UCI engine that I realized in my spare time. It uses many of the most diffuse algorithms used in modern chess engines: alpha-beta and null move pruning, bitboard and so on. It is in an early stage of development but already has opening book support and ponder mode. It’s written in C++ and it is extremely fast (about 1-1.5 MNodes/s on a single CPU). In the next weeks i will add multi core support. My goal is to create a very strong free engine, over 3000 elo points, and some other engines derived from it, but a lot weaker, in the range 600-1600 ELO points.


Now what do you think guys

It looks like the statement early stage of develpment nowadays means a +2700 Elo chess engine

Naraku 1.12 single core 32bit and only 152Kb big! Not bad..we have to test this engine!

Big Trouble in Little China - other pages on the blog mention such entities as "Fire", "Ivanhoe" and "Houdini". More fodder for the ongoing debate.

I don't really see anything suspicious in it.
