October Chess Engine This is a rather simple Chess engine, written in Java, initially developed in October 2010. It can be run standalone, or as an applet. It's multi-threaded and will make good use of a multi-core machine. Right now it can search 6 plies on modern hardware pretty quickly, and 8 plies is still reasonable on good hardware. The engine configuration could definitely use some tweaking, and a non-developer could do it easily. Just find this properties file and edit to taste, com/nullprogram/chess/ai/default.properties For more information: * http://nullprogram.com/blog/2010/10/17/ * http://nullprogram.com/blog/2011/04/09/
