Minnow CE (UCI) by Kyle Davis

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello together,

The master-zip.package of Minnow contains no binaries, only the source code on the website https://github.com/tm512/minnow is available.

minnow

minnow is a simple and fairly weak chess engine written in C. It currently features:

Partial UCI compatibility.
A 10x12 board representation with piece lists.
An iteratively deepened alpha-beta search.
PV-first move ordering.
Primitive evaluation that takes material, position (piece-square tables), piece pairs, and relative advantage into account.

To compile minnow, use the provided Makefile. On non-GNU systems, you will need to use gmake. By default, it will compile with optimizations and debug symbols turned on. To disable optimizations, use make debug. To disable or remove debug symbols, use make strip.

minnow is free, open source software, you can use, modify, and distribute it under the terms of the MIT license.


Best wishes,
Norbert

Daniel José, (author of Andscacs) created successfully an executable edition for Windows XP - and such an engine of NoraGrace 1.0 win32, too!

Thank you very much Dani!

Both versions were tested with WinBoard 4.7.3a-GUI.

Best wishes,
Norbert

There have been some source updates.
It would be nice if you could compile a newer one :)
