Vice 1.0

[Adam Hair]

I would like to point out a new engine that seems to have gone unnoticed - Vice 1.0 (Video Instructional Chess Engine). To go along with the engine, the author has a series of YouTube videos detailing how to create a simple chess engine in C.

Vice came to be as part of a YouTube video tutorial series showing how to create a simple chess engine in C. Vice isn't meant to be anything other than a resource for people starting out with computer chess, and hopefully provides some help and guidance. I certainly don't claim to anything more than a beginner at this myself. The program is not optimised, is definitely not written to a high standard - it is a hobby programmer's attempt to give something back to a great and vibrant community.

Vice is Winboard, UCI protocol compatable. It also has a console mode, but a GUI is much better. It plays under Shredder, Winboard, Chessbase, Arena without (so far) problems.

You are welcome to use the code as you like to help with your projects!

Very fun series so far. After reading this post, I just lost an hour or so watching these

I suspect R. (the author of L. and J.) to be the author of this tutorial and engine. Those tutorials involved a lot of work! They are very clear and smartly assembled. Thanks R.! But why being anonymous ? Your work deserves a lot of credits!

Easy moderation,

Not really.

I host the files, and my name is to be found on other pages on the site.

I also have www.klughoener.de, www.paultaylorf1.com amongst others for friends. Perhaps I sell speakers and write about f1 also?

I don't see my name anywhere on the the info for Vice, though.

There's usually a reason for anonymity. Certainly odd to see my name on the http://computer-chess.org/ engine list, and a bit annoying.

Hi Richard,

I was misinformed that you were the author. I cross-checked by doing a whois for the website and that seemed to confirm that Vice was yours. Sorry for the mistake. I have removed your name from the Vice entry.
