KKFChess

V2.6.6pmx (16-bit pure core) plus help files, etc.

V2.6.6 (32-bit P6 core with assembly code) engine only

My first chess engine that plays normal chess and variants.  This is the engine I use to play on FICS.

New users:  Please see HTML help file(s) for installation procedure.
Old users: Extract to a new directory or overwrite existing ones.

Changes from v2.6.5:

 

FireFly

V1.1.1 (P6 core) engine with book updating file

My second chess engine that only plays regular chess.  Changes:

 

Extract the files (engine, book update file and release note) into a directory of your choice.  No opening book is provided in this version since book learning would have modified your book file and I don't want to overwrite it.

If this is the first time you download FireFly, you can download the larger book below.  Create a text file "FireFlyStart.txt" in the same directory with the following lines:

egtbpath <EGTB path list>

poshash <N>MB

pawnhash <N>MB

where <EGTB path list> is the directories of the EGTB files, separated with semi-colons.

<N> is a number for setting the main and pawn hash table sizes.

Note that the incremental book file will be deleted after successfully merged into the main book.

Download the larger (~18MB expanded) normal chess opening book for KKFChess 2.6.X (.rar spanned):

RAR_Part 06

 

Put the book file KKFChessBook.kkf (and the indexing file Opening.idx for "pmx" users) into the normal chess' opening book directory "XXX/normal" where XXX is the book base directory given in the configuration file KKFChess.cfg.


Larger FireFly Opening Book

Download the book above and rename it to FireFlyBook.ffb.  No need for the index file.
