Searching for Gustav mate solver

[David Dahlem]

I tried to find the Gustav mate solver with Google, but was unsuccesful. I think there is an old dos version and a newer windows version, is this correct?

Any idea where to find the windows version?

Thanks in advance.

Hi David,

I did a bit of Googling too. Seems you have to buy Windows version direct from author by email.
Here is the page I found (email address is on there) >

Thanks for the link, Jim. Looks like an interesting program, except for one thing -

"Program and manual is only in German"

I've been hoping for years that somebody would write a proper multi-thread mate solver. Maybe Robert Hyatt could strip out all the crafty evaluation code (except for mate checking) and make that available? It would surely make solving those mate-in-19 type positions much quicker?
