ChessGeniusClassic as WB/UCI engine?

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

I suggested Richard to create such an adapter because only an additional converter Genius2WinBoard or Gen2UCI would probably solve this problem:

Another example is SMIRF, a native engine that plays 10x8 variant or normal chess on its own graphical interface
http://www.10x8.net/chess/SMIRF.html - but it can be used with external frontends (Arena, ChessGUI, WinBoard) as WinBoard-compatible chess engine because of Smirfoglot http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/smirf.html, a special adapter written by H.G.Muller

And the two main protpcols, WinBoard and UCI are nowadays free available for downloads and can be used by hundred of chess programs:

UCI Chess Engine Protocol ~ http://www.shredderchess.com/download.html
Chess Engine Communication Protocol ~ http://hgm.nubati.net/CECP.html

What are your impressions about this recommendation?

Best wishes,

Genius UCI sounds good to me....

Hi,
ChessGenius Classic is a GUI... Which can run several engines.
ChessGenius engine for PC is a 16bits engine, thus limited to old 32bits operating systems; it does not seem worth the update for years - my guess is technical and business issue.
So very little hope for an UCI adaptor, TMHO

There must be some way to extricate the w16 ChessGenius engine (Geng7..Geng3...Geng6 etc) so it can be used with some sort of adaptor as a winboard/UCI engine in Arena/Chessbase.......has anyone tried to get it to work outside the ChessGenius GUI? Thx in advance...AR


orig post...What we really could use (for the smart folks in the forum) is a converter so the chess genius gui (GENG7) engine can be used in Arena and Chessbase so it could finally be fully tested out of the w16 Chessgenius GUI
Thx.......AAR

So you say that Wchess 2000 and Zarkov 5 Chess Genius Dll's work in Arena as well as ChessGenius 7.2? How do you set them up to work??

NEVER right?!?! AR

Hello Norbert,

I have no plans for any further work on ChessGenius Classic. It's 16 bit and
will not run on modern PC's.

Richard Lang

Well........I guess thats that then.......AR
