MadChess 2.1 Released - Supports Windows, Linux, Mac
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:51 am
I've released version 2.1 of my chess engine, MadChess. It now supports Windows, Linux, and Mac*.
* OK, I'll immediately qualify that. I haven't tested it on Linux or Mac, so I'm looking for volunteers.
MadChess still uses mailbox board representation (not bitboards) and still is written in C#. It will run (let's hope) on Linux and Mac via .NET Core, Microsoft's new cross-OS development platform.
I estimate MadChess 2.1 is about 60 or 70 ELO stronger than version 2.0.
See MadChess 2.1 Released for details and download link.
I converted the MadChess website from BlogEngine.NET to WordPress, styled using the fantastic Parabola plugin. I'm very happy with how it looks. WordPress is written in PHP. And I'm hosting it on Microsoft's Azure cloud. So the theme of this release is... cross-platform.
