There are no binaries there, just the source. You must build it yourself.

This is the command to collect the source (if you have svn installed):
svn co https://zochova.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zochova zochova

This is an extremely sophisticated and interesting chess engine.
It uses Ed's opening books.

Here is the source (I tweaked a tiny bit) along with 32 and 64 bit binaries and opening books.

Is it "official"?

This is an extremely sophisticated and interesting chess engine.
It uses Ed's opening books.

Here is the source (I tweaked a tiny bit) along with 32 and 64 bit binaries and opening books.

http://cap.connx.com/chess-engines/new- ... ochova.zip

Is it "official"?



Thanks Dann

Christopher

Official builds would be provided by the sourceforge site.

I can't get the binaries to run properly yet. I may look into it later.

It's a little fussy, because it requires BOOST to build it.

By alternation of black and white, Zochova will emit moves, but it only seems to think 2 plies deep:

I was just jesting with you. Yes, I saw it needs Boost. Still it looks good, no?

This is a really interesting engine.
I guess that it will go places, eventually.
