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:
Added console command "pgnverify".
Removed some debugging coded that had caused lost on
time.
FireFly
V1.1.1 (P6 core) engine with book
updating file
My second chess engine that only plays regular chess.
Changes:
Removed some left over debugging code.
Added code to support incremental book updating.
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.
