Wanted: A Successor to Chest

Post by Marek Soszynski »

Dear Programmers,

We have plenty of analysis engines already, most of them "free". Here is something we are genuinely short of: a dedicated mate-solver that is cross-platform, UCI, 64-bit and multi-processor. In other words, a successor to Chest; in fact a new engine altogether.

Maybe, just maybe, someone here will quietly take up the challenge of my suggestion.

(I've raised the topic more than once previously...

I suggest that a good solution for this would be and and/or proof search using the GPU powered perft algorithm.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
