AmiBoard - An electronic chess board
by Thorsten Greiner
V1.0 (25.3.1994)
Introduction:
This is a new chess program for the Amiga. It is not a port of GNUChess
but a completely new program. It requires a 68020 or better processor and
Kickstart/Workbench 3.0. Also lots of RAM are welcome :-)
What's in it:
- Strong chess engine (evaluates between 500 and 1000 nodes/sec on
68030@25 MHz), parts of kernel written in 68020+ assembler
- Opening book from GNUChess with about 30000 opening lines
- supports PGN (Portable Game Notation), several thousand games in this
format are available via anonymous ftp. One example file is included.
- uses Standard Algebraic Notation (e.g. Nf3 instead of g1-f3)
- Chess pieces are loaded from IFF brush, can easily be changed to your
liking with any standard paint program
- Fontadaptive GUI
- Mostly localized (Some error texts will always appear in English)
What's not (yet):
- Full localization
- Support for comments in PGN
- Detection of draws according to threefold repetition of position or the
50 moves rule
- Setup of positions
- Installer script
This package includes:
AmiBoard - the main program
AmiBoard.book - Opening book
AmiBoard.readme - This .readme file
Brushes/* - IFF brushes for chess pieces
Catalogs/* - Catalogs
Docs/* - Documentation
Install - Installer script for installation of brushes
PGN/Alekhine.pgn - Games of Alekhine in PGN format
PGN/Standard - Description of PGN standard
