- This is the archived version of gnuchess 3.1 along with a chess
- game analysis program based on gnuchess.
-
- The analysis program is called gnuan.exe which uses gnuchess to analyse
- a whole chess game. It will take a file with the game in algebraic
- notation, and analyse each move made, tell what it would have done,
- and give the score it would have given the position after its move.
- The max depth and max time per move can be set for different levels
- of analysis.
-
- Gnuchess is a public domain chess program from the Free Software
- Foundation. Gnuchess plays a strong game. It appears to be better
- than my Novag Super VIP chess computer which was rated between 1950
- and 2000 by Computer Chess Reports. Gnuchess was running on an 11
- Mhz PC at the time. The human interface is not as good as most chess
- programs, since the output is ASCII graphics. The gnuchess program
- is called gnuchess.exe, and it reads gnuchess.boo for its opening
- book.
-
- It comes with source, executables, and makefiles for a variety
- of compilers. The source code is all in C. It is quite portable
- code, and should be compilable on other machines with only minor
- modifications.
