Movei is a chess program that I developed.

There is a version for download but
it is not the latest version.

The program simply play chess and also knows to read Fen.
The program is not supposed to be a mate solver.

 I have the

It simply searches for the best move like
other normal chess programs.

It is not at the level of the top programs and
I guess that it may get a rating of 2200 against humans.

Part of the commercial programs like Junior7
can do clearly better than movei in your position
but when I tried deep fritz
it crushed.


Junior7 can see the mate in 11 in only 35 seconds on p800
(16 mbytes hash).
