Open Source Windows Chess Engines - Page 3

Another open source java chess engine. The project is in a very early stage. Winboard compliance is partial. Does not support undo of moves or time controls. Right now it makes a move every 45 seconds. If you are a beginner-intermediate player you might find this a good sparring partner.I have tested this only with Arena3.0. I plan to make this stronger gradually. In the the end an array of ChessNovices with varying playing strenths should be available.

Kenny ClassIQ (read Kenny Classic) is something like my dream project. It is a chess engine with pure object oriented programming with close-to-real-world representation of the game inside the program using OOPS. Initially I thought of doing a similar thing in C++, but after trying to develop my other chess engine Kenny in this route, I found out that it is a difficult task, and switched to using Java for the programming instead. To learn how to do it, I created a similar, many-times-lesser-in-complexity project KenTacToe. Having completed it successfully, I've gained the confidence to proceed with Kenny ClassIQ, named so because it is more class-oriented than Kenny, and because I want it to be intelligent. (A play with words landed me Kenny ClassIQ.) Also, I used this name so that people searching for my other chess engine Kenny can also find this more advanced chess engine (okay, yes, I wanted to name my chess engine Kenny, so).
