from the author:

One of the more interesting features of Chenard is that it automatically learns new openings and does not have to spend time thinking when it re-encounters any position in the first 15 moves of a game.

very easy to compile for the mac from the src directory , type this on the common line (assuming you downloaded the source from Github):

Code: Select all

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wunused -Woverloaded-virtual -DAPPLE  -O2 -o ../linux/xchenard @../linux/xsourcefiles

Mac exe for xboard (Note: It is not a UCI engine, leave the UCI box unchecked when installing):

Very suitable for human play. Don first started writing a chess program in 1993 and it's good to see that he is still around.
