Hello together,

Numpty DD by Chris Tatham was released in January 2014

https://sites.google.com/site/numptychess/

Best wishes,
Norbert

The last entry of CCWiki http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=c ... ngine_list
contains into the row "alternate downloads" a link on the right side to iLivid http://lp.downloadsetup.net/?sysid=406& ... i1wSNhE000.
- cf. http://www.ilivid.com/ for further information about the tool

But be aware that a virus with the same name was detected http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-ilivid-virus.html - http://lesvirus.fr/ilivid-virus/ - http://dieviren.de/ilivid-virus/

(The link to Numpty 0.6pr on the left side [Dropbox] is broken, error 404)

Best wishes,

Yes, this version was released at the start of the year.

I tend not to bother making any announcements these days as there are excellent people like Ron who keep a track on all engine updates.

For anyone interested in Numpty, I maintain a twitter account for support, news and updates etc. There will be a new stronger version out soon (ok, its all relative!).

Not sure what Norbert means in his second post - I don't like to see the words 'Numpty' and 'virus' in the same post!

Just to confirm no download from the Numpty homepage has a virus. Of course, I can't speak for any secondary download sites - (btw if these exist they should be in accordance with the limited conditions in the Numpty readme).

The website "Chess Engine List" from yesterday is now rectified - the broken Dropbox link and the connection to iLivd are deleted now.

Of course, the word "virus" refers only to a possible iLivid malware,
not to your Numpty Chess Page
