New Engine YNODE

Post by Orhan.Ozturk »

Hello Everyone,

I have my own chess engine that has been developed over years and unfortunately in silence mode for years because of my business.
Lately, because of pandemic things, i was forcibly at home, and started to put some effort to make it better.
The program (YNODE) has a long history and has many implementations with different programming languages. (C, C++, Java, C#)
After having many implementations with different languages over years, i ended up with c# to make things simpler and have more time to test more ideas. I have got many ideas from many different programs, mainly from TSCP, Crafty and Igel.
Very big thanks to their developers.

Now, i want my engine to be tested against others and included in CCRL list. I really wonder how much ELO it deserves.
I would appreciate if you could point me any resource available for further steps.

Best Regards.

Do you have a link to an executable? CCRL only tests engines that are publicly availabel.
