Go up one level in this thread


I looked, and didn't see "Blitzen", so that's the name for my chess
program.
Please let me know if someone else is already using it.  It's fast, but
stupid, hence the name.  8 weeks into the project, it's now rated about
2000.
I've only tested it in 30 move/30 minute games against people.  It has
about 30 wins against players up to 1902 and no losses, one loss against
2165, and about 1/3 wins against someone ranked about 2100.  It beats
Caissa at www.caissa.com.
