Hello !
Its amazing the number of people who require information about winboard
chess engines, and in general about free chess programs. Let me explain this
. Last 3 years show a great increase of the number of programmers who turned
their interest on chess programming. This fact produced a variaty of chess
engines. Different styles and strengths .In addition free engines are getting
strong ( take a look at Crafty's 8th place in the SSDF Rating list with
2600+ ELO ) and moreover are FREE ! These facts explain the above
increasement.
The 8th issue is full of news ! Read reports of all ( official and not)
tournaments of the first 15 days of April. Download the latest version of
your favorite engine by visiting the "Winboarders" section !
Proudly , I anounce the creation of a new Newsletter which will cover all
news from Handhelds area. The first issue will be published today and will be
send to you just to evaluate it. Editor in Chief is Pavel Mahamood, who

interest in computer chess , from the first issue . Great work ! Issue #1
