BDIChess (WB) and Stupid Chess (UCI)

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

Tony Mokonen made win-builds of the source code here:
http://tmokonen.net84.net/

BDIChess
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bdi-chess/

"It only plays as black, but does seem to accept opening book moves. It's quite weak; I played a game against it with no book, and won in three moves with a Fool's Mate. "

Stupid
https://git.sesse.net/?p=stupid
"Stupid is not a very strong engine, since it does not have a quiescence search. It's quite fast in terms on nodes per second."

Thank you Tony for your work!

Best wishes,
Norbert

Only tested it in console so far. It starts up and all is ok even after
the 'uci' command. But if I type 'go' then this happens:

Code: Select all

When running from the console, it seems to require the position command before issuing a go command. I only tested the program in Arena, and it worked OK with that GUI. If you encounter problems with Arena or any other GUI, let me know.

I compiled Stupid for 32 and 64 bits:

Thanks Tony and Daniel. I will try it under WB instead of console too.
