I believe you can freely download Yace but not redistribute it. Unfortunately, no source code :( but Dieter seems very willing to discuss his ideas and programming techniques, which is certainly helpful. As far as when he intends to produce an official 1.0 version, well I think he is asymptotically approaching that goal ;) I don't know about future Linux support, but I hope so since I don't use Windows except when forced. Linux is by far my preferred operating system (I cut my teeth on SunOs and Unix). Our entire house is wired with Cat-5 and runs Linux (including a wireless network). I knew Yace was going to be good as soon as I heard the name (in the tradition of YACC). Anyone clever enough to grab onto that moniker was bound to produce a decent engine, not to mention he was more than likely a Unix hack [that's a compliment by the way]. Yace is fast as hell, and a really tough opponent. For more info, you'll need to talk to Dieter. regards, --tom >Hi! > >I really like Yace, and use it as my primary chess engine. >Out of curiousity, I have a few questions. > >Which license is Yace published under, if any ? >Is the source code available ? >When will Yace 1.0 be out ? >Will the programmer continue to support Linux ? > >Thanks. > >Martin.
