Yes ladies and gentlemen, from the man who brought you the facial evaluation in Mint (I like to call them smilieval), here comes the next innovation. MintMic! It implements algorythms never before seen or even thought of in computer chess. It does its best to mi(nt)mic the opponents game! How does it do this? Well, most noticeably it likes to move its pieces to the same rank or file that you last moved a piece to. It also attempts to obtain and maintain a symmetrical pawn structure. What on earth is this all about you ask? Well, just try and play it personally, I can tell you that I think it really is a lot of fun! You get some incredibly unexpected moves, and sometimes very strong ones with untypically deep strategical ideas behind them. Or at least you can pretend that there are :) So download it now! http://ds.onyx.nu/mint/mintmic.zip But please, don't go through any trouble putting it into databases or playing it in tournaments or whatever, its just a little hack and pretty much inferior to most other engines. The purpose of it is to give you a really different chess experience. It isn't even on the Mint page yet. Bu bye! - Christian (btw, this is being cross-posted)
