Looking for JAR Chess Engines

Post by ianmtv »

Hello everyone, I've been working on Scoria 4 for a while, and I'm glad to say that it's significantly better than the previous version. However, I don't have any sparring partners for Scoria other than Mediocre, which makes it hard for me to gauge whether my changes are actually improving the engine, or just overfitting it relative to a single other bot.

The big problem I have however, is that I'm coding on a Mac, which means anything other than a JAR file is inconvenient for me to use. I've tried looking for such engines like Cupcake c1.1, but it always seems as if I can't find the source code or any JAR version. If anyone has chess engines in the form of JAR files, preferably around 2200 to 2400 ELO, it would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I would suggest the Rival Chess Java Engine by C. Moreton
