Is there an engine folder to download?

Graham.

You need the Node.js executable to run the engine inside of a chess GUI.
Download it from

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

I would use the Windows Binary .zip package. Place node.exe from the download and tomitankChess.js from the tomitankChess GitHub site in the same folder. Then when you set up your engine in the GUI, use node.exe as the engine, and tomitankChess.js as the command line parameter, and you should be good to go.

Got it. Thanks again.

Seems little unusual for me to publish a GPL program as an encripted .js file. Is there any special reason you use this format instead of readable source code?

Thanks your help!

Thanks your help!

Does Tomitank have a version number (like 1.0 for example)?
