Details
BBChess is a computer chess engine by Borko Bošković. BBChess version 1.3b has a rating over 2400 ELO points. The engine is Free Open Source Software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License. The program is written in ANSI C programming language with glib library. Program is designed specificity for 64-bit processors.
Rating
- CCRL 2588 (1.3b)
- CEGET 2538 (1.3b)
- Le Fou numérique 2352 (1.3b)
- WBEC 2491 (1.3a)
- ChessWar 2390 (1.3b)
- Free Internet Chess Server 2461 (1.3b)
- EPD test 2618 (1.3a)
Program
- Download 1.3b (13.01.2009):
Installation
Download and extract zip file in specific folder. In graphical user interface choose file bbchess.exe (bbchess). Then select engine BBChess as an active engine. You can download the 5men bitbases and books from Leo Dijksman's WBEC site http://www.wbec-ridderkerk.nl . Then put them anywhere in your computer. You have to change path in the uci options (BookFile and Bitbases). The egbbdll library (dll or so) must be in the same folder as the bitbase files. For parallel search you have to set uci parameter Threads to number of procesors.
