Ethereal is an UCI-compliant chess engine. It uses the traditional alpha-beta framework in addition to a variety of pruning, reduction, extension, and other improvements. It's greatly influenced from Crafty, Stockfish, TSCP, MadChess and Fruit.

Fairy-Stockfish is a chess variant engine derived from Stockfish designed for the support of fairy chess variants and easy extensibility with more games. It can play various regional, historical, and modern chess variants as well as games with user-defined rules. For compatibility with graphical user interfaces it supports the UCI, UCCI, USI, and CECP/XBoard protocols.

The goal of the project is to create an engine supporting a large variety of chess-like games, equipped with the powerful search of Stockfish. Despite its generality the playing strength is on a very high level in almost all supported variants. Due to its multi-protocol support Fairy-Stockfish works with almost any chess variant GUI.

Variants larger than 8x8 are only supported on 64-bit platforms.

Fairymax je program, ktorý hrá šach a varianty šachu. Na komunikáciu používa protokol šachového jadra xboard/winboard. Okrem „obyčajného“ šachu (tiež známeho ako variant Šialená kráľovná), dokáže hrať aj šach Capablanca. gotický šach, knightmate, valcový šach, berolina, superšach a courier.

This is a very strong chess engine, placed second in the 13th world computer chess championship 2005. It uses the UCI (universal chess interface), for chess engines as communication protocol. This means to play against it, you will have to use an UCI capable interface, like knights. This distribution comes with an opening book of moves that the engine can use for the first few moves of the game. This increases performance in the chess games opening.

This is a very strong chess engine, finished 4th place at internatonal ChessWar X. It uses the UCI (universal chess interface), for chess engines as communication protocol. This means to play against it, you have to use an UCI capable interface, like knights. Or an xboard adapter like polyglot.

Gnuchess je aktualizovaná verzia šachového programu GNU chess. Momentáýlne je založený na šachovom jadre fruit a používa šachový protokol UCI. Má jednoduché alfanumerické zobrazovanie šachovnice a je tiež kompatibilný s rozhraniami ako sú xboard, scid a eboard.

This is the opening book for gnuchess. It was formerly distributed together with gnuchess, now it has been separated due to size and architecture-independence. It is recommended that you install it if you want to use gnuchess.

Gnushogi is a computer player for Shogi (Japanese chess).

Pgn-extract is a program to extract selected games from a collection of chess games in PGN format. There are several ways to specify the criteria on which to extract: textual move sequences, the position reached after a sequence of moves, information in the tag fields, and material balance in the ending.

conversion tool to generate webpages from chess "portable game notation" PGN files. The webpages allow the replaying of chess games within a web browser. It has a commandline client and a gtk graphical user interface for convenience. The html output is highly customisable, it is using javascript and the webpages are standards compliant and working with all major browsers.

Phalanx is a simple chess playing program of conventional design. It is xboard compatible. The main aim is to write a slow thinker with a lot of chess specific knowledge. Current version plays risky, active chess and shows quite good tactical performance.

Bežné šachové rozhrania majú vstupné zariadenie winboard/xboard. Moderné šachové jadrá hovoria protokolom UCI (universal chess interface) - „univerzálne šachové rozhranie“.

A Go program with no human provided knowledge. Using MCTS (but without Monte Carlo playouts) and a deep residual convolutional neural network stack.

This is a fairly faithful reimplementation of the system described in the Alpha Go Zero paper "Mastering the Game of Go without Human Knowledge". For all intents and purposes, it is an open source AlphaGo Zero.

https://deepmind.com/documents/119/agz_unformatted_nature.pdf

No network weights are in this repository. If you manage to obtain the AlphaGo Zero weights, this program will be about as strong, provided you also obtain a few Tensor Processing Units. Lacking those TPUs, the author recommends a top of the line GPU - it's not exactly the same, but the result would still be an engine that is far stronger than the top humans.

Recomputing the AlphaGo Zero weights will take about 1700 years on commodity hardware. Upstream is running a public, distributed effort to repeat this work. Working together, and especially when starting on a smaller scale, it will take less than 1700 years to get a good network (which you can feed into this program, suddenly making it strong). To help with this effort, run the leelaz-autogtp binary provided in this package. The best-known network weights file is at http://zero.sjeng.org/best-network

Features include:

• Show win rates and confidence levels for selected moves on the board
• Show best move sequence continuation, for these selected moves
• Displays a graph of winrate against move number
• Show whole game history including forked moves
• Interactive play including undo/redo
• Load and save games in SGF format
