Chess
Analyzer is a framework for experimenting programming different move valuation
strategies and heuristics for computer chess. It provides basic calculations enabling automated chess with some
limitations to special moves as detailed in the file 'chess.txt'.
- Supported operating system: DOS
(runs also under Microsoft Windows 3.11 and probably also under most of the later
Microsoft Windows versions).
- Implemented using C++, compiled
with Borland C++ 4.5 for Microsoft Windows.
-
Availability: Chess Analyzer and its source code can be freely downloaded and
used for personal non-commercial purposes provided that the copyright notices
are not removed.
- Disclaimer: The program comes with absolutely no guarantee of
suitability to any particular purpose, although that the basic move evaluation
algorithm has passed extensive tests, use of this experimental system will be
entirely on users' own risk.
