Chesser is an winglet derived chess engine. It is a significant improvement over winglet (+400 elo according to my tests, +1200 according to eloStat
).
Chesser is yet unpublished, due to my laptop display accidentally stopped working.
But I'd hopefully publish it (and it's source too!) as soon as possible.
For now, I'm looking for tournaments to participate my engine in. It's not particularly strong yet, 2100 as per my tests (Winglet was ~1650).
Excluding HGMs Online blitz tournament, are there anymore chess events to participate, coming in preferably less than a year?
So according to EloStat you suddenly have a program derived from Winglet which is now 2850?. Yeah, please send the source then, I don't buy this.
You even had no working move generator a few weeks ago...
BTW what license has Winglet again?
EloStat gives you +1200 when your engine does a perfect score than another.
Although it's true that I hadn't a completely correct movegen, I have brought down perft 5 time from ~1400 ms to 484 ms.
Besides, Chesser is much, much more faster than Winglet, mainly because I've changed many little things, and inlined a lot of functions.
Chesser is one of it's kind positional player in it's range. It's evaluation is highly inspired from Texel. I've added separate EG point values and piece square values. And I've added mobility evaluation. And the previous PSQ tables were updated too.
I've tried to improve move ordering through Ed's Techniques and successfully implemented too, but the program seemed to play better with history heuristics.
Winglet is distribution under GPL 3 or later. It's author is Stef Luijten.
