Go up one level in this thread



Shredder Classic can directly load and use Java chess engines. You can download
a test version on http://www.shredderchess.com and try it yourself. You have to
manually create an eng file in the Engines folder which should look like this:

[ENGINE]
Name=Java Chess Engine
Author=Name1 Name2
Filename=C:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java.exe
Parameter=-jar c:\java\chess.jar
