Hello chess problem friends! In the last days I´ve programmed ´PopeyeUCI Ver.1.0´, which is again an UCI-interface for another excellent matesolver, that is ´Popeye 3.77´ (both of course FreeWare!). But this time it´s really ´only´ a pure user interface (although a quite comfortable one!) without any changes or additions from myself to the original program. This ´Popeye´ has some very powerful options for ´orthodox´ mate problems (e.g. ´treat´, a feature that unfortunately Chest does not have, and which let him solve special mate problems sometimes even faster than Chest), and on the other hand Popeye also can handle the so-called ´fairy chess´ with a lot of special pieces and conditions. Although I´m not at all interested in this special chess variant, nevertheless there are lots of friends of such mate puzzles. (In any case I´ve implemented all features of Popeye in PopeyeUCI!) Also included is a complete German version, and further details can be found in the file ´ReadmeUCI.txt´ (this short description is only in English!). Download of ´PopeyeUCI 1.0´ as usual from Alex´s great UCI-homepage: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/PopeyeUCI/popeyeuci.html Finally I wish you once again much fun with this new program, and the best regards to all chess friends, Franz. PS. for Heiner Marxen: Tut mir leid Heiner, daß ich diesmal ein wenig ´fremdgegangen´ bin, aber meine wahre ´große Liebe´ gehört natürlich nach wie vor Deinem ´Chest´! ;-))
