I have managed to load individual old chess computer ROM engines from the CB-Emu package but is there a way to load more than one ROM engine at the same time? No, the ROM files are no Windows executables, you have to call 'MessChess.exe' with the 'engine' name as parameter. This can be done by a ba...

Weird. Maybe weaker engines have an easier time due to less aggressive pruning? Myrddin solves this in 21 seconds...

ChestUCI needs only a fraction of a second ...

Thanks, but lol...Why so aggressive?

Are you angry because your win98 notebook cannot handle files that big?

Win98? No, I'm still on MSDOS 2.0!
