Socrates chess engine - ChessBot UCI

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

on the website https://github.com/epandurski/socrates Evgeni Pandurski mentioned an UCI-application (source code) written in Rust several hours ago.

Roman Koldaev made a jar-file of https://github.com/johnniegf/chessbot too - if anybody is interested in to get the engine, please let me know.

Best wishes,
Norbert

Hi,

Socrates is a program by Don Daily. In the first times available as DOS version (commercial available). Later newer Socrates 2 DOS versions are not public.

A bad name ...
Programmer should switched the name to on other one.

Best

Hello,

My project is still in a quite early stage of development. Mainly I use it
to learn more about Rust and chess programming.

I am still experimenting, and learning about chess programming myself. I
think the main focus on the project will be to create a chess engine form
which people can learn about chess programming by looking at the code (This means clean code and lots of docs). I think Rust is a good language for that. The strength of the program will be a secondary consideration, but still important.

Your website (>CCWiki main page) is a great resource of information for me. Thanks!

Regards,
Evgeni
