Myrddin v0.81 Alpha 2 release

[JVMerlino]

Greetings,

After a fair amount of inspiration thanks to Olivier Deville's ChessWar tournament, Myrddin Alpha 2 is now ready for public release.

The engine still probably plays only 1600-1700 against other engines, at best. It's performance in the tournament was 6.5/11, with a 1655 performance rating.

You can download the latest version, plus find out all about it and even read a short tournament "journal", by going to:

Many thanks again to Ron Murawski for hosting the site, and to several other brilliant people for guidance and inspiration.

Hi John,

it's great to see you developing an engine.

Cheers,
Graham.

Thanks for the encouragement, Graham! Very much appreciated.

Its interesting that your profile 'Slick' in Chessmaster is also that rating...

Funny! I hadn't noticed that.

Actually, in earlier versions of CM, Slick was rated much higher (low-end GM). But the Producer for CM9000 said that there needed to be more mid-range personalities and "volunteered" all of the team members' avatars for readjustment.

Thanks for the post and the new chess program John.
Very interesting engine.
I have play a few games with it and it would be a very good
training engine for players with rating around 1700.

Best to you,

Gerold.

ah.. didn't realize that...

I have CM_7... I'll see if I can find the cd(s) and see how your personality plays...

Your personality is one of the better ones to play against...
