Sungorus 1.0

[Pablo Vazquez]

Hi,

I started working on a chess engine last summer but I stopped after 2 months. Now I have come back to chess programming and I have implemented the UCI protocol in my engine. It lacks a lot of features for now, but I have been playing some games with it against other engines and I didn't have any stability problems, so I decided to make a first release.

It comes with a linux 64-bit compile and the source. I hope someone can make windows compiles. I would be grateful if someone included my engine in their rating lists.

The site to download it is: http://sites.google.com/site/sungorus/

Thanks

Hi Pablo,

A very nice first release.
Plays well & compiles for Windows with no warnings/errors at all.

Many thanks,
Jim.

Hi,

Thanks Wael and Jim for the kind words and for the logo. I have a question for testers. I was wondering if limited depth per move, nodes per move or time per move are common in testing. I ask this because I don't want to bloat the code.

Currently, those time controls are commented out but I have no problem in including them if someone needs them for testing.

Thanks

Hi Pablo,

roughly how strong do you think your engine is at this stage?

Cheers,
Graham.

My initial blitz test to verify it was working:
xboard: Match Sungorus 1.0 vs. Xpdnt 080927: final score 0-3-1

Thanks Kenny. Only a small number of games though. Keep me posted.

Hi Graham,

I'm running a 4' + 2'' match against smash 1.0.3 at the moment. The result so far is +1 =3 -2 in favor of smash.
