Go up one level in this thread


John,

2100 was a Spacklen engine - not so sure about 3000

Great news!!  Kittinger's engines are always interesting!  Just as a suggestion
- a major USP compared to ChessMaster for the chess geeks here at CC would be to
also include a UCI / Winboard or even MCS version of the engine as an addition
to the package.  Remember that Kittinger already has the MCS interface code as
he produced a version of WChess for the Genius interface - just a thought!

Regards,

Steve
