Jim Abletts Free Chess Engine Site has Moved
By Dave
For those that might not know, Jim Ablett maintains an excellent webpage containing a wide variety of computer chess engines. All of the chess programs are free downloads and hosted through his good nature and a cooperative webhost. The thanks of computer chess online goes out to you Jim.
What also might not be commonly known is that whenever the code for these free chess engines is publicly available Jim will also recompile the code to run more efficiently. Jim’s recompiles of well known chess engines often run better than the original chess program did!
Have a look at Jim’s work at: http://jimablett.hostwebs.com/ (no longer valid)
Edit: Jim’s site moved again and he has retired from his compilation work – a sad loss.
The final repository of Jim’s work is at: http://jimablett.net63.net/ (Edit: Sorry this link was later found to have 4(!) trojans in the download. I have removed the active link, but leave the location as anyone with up to date virus scanner may still wish to vist).
no site is not finished, just getting messed about by webhost. I will be moving to another
web hoster soon. That report of trojan stuff downloaded is b/s false positive stuff from a dumb antivirus.
