Many thanks Norbert.

For those interested on this project note that "This means that there is only source code available which is far from complete and thus cannot be compiled to a working binary yet. "

This seems very strange and could be a mistake. "Yace" is a chess engine that played in the early 2000's and the author of that engine I believe was Dieter Burssner. I believe he created the "Yet another chess engine" acronym.

Indeed.

However he says it is called Yacen not YACE. I have not looked at it yet but you should know that a similar name does not mean a duplication of code. His code is open and anyone can see it. Leave him be.

To Christopher....

Thank you. I will take a look and attempt to compile it with a view to making it do something.

The Yacen project is obviously in a VERY early stage (there is just a board.c).

Considering it is in an early stage, it would be nice if they change the name now.

I would congratulate anyone's chess program these days, even this.....

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>

main&#40;)
&#123;
    printf&#40;"Hello World");

&#125;

So long as they wrote it themselves.

Anyway....how are you Sven? Are you OK?

Regards

Chrsitopher Thiele´s answer in German (translation of main contents)

no relationship with YACE, similar name of the engine is just a coincidence - author was not aware of the YACE existence and will probably rename his engine soon

For registered members of SourceForge exists a possibility to contact the author directly.
