http://downloads.sourceforge.net/projec ... hivelocity Hi to all, :D , This is a link for Gull Chess, it is a open source project at sourceforge. The current version is quite strong 2800-2900 strength. It is an original engine , not a clone of anything. Karger

Hi Martin ; I cannot verify the source, but it is included with the d/l as a ccp file.

It's coming from Thinking-a-Lot (Vadim Dev). After fast look at code it doesn't look as direct copy of anything. At least it's not Ippo clone. It's certainly not SF or Crafty clone. It's based on Magic bitboards.
Search looks like it's own completely, move gens are closest to Ippo (there are couple of very similar things), eval is simplified, with again structure a little bit like Ippo and a bit like Strelka. UCI is Strelka like. Material and static evals are really simple, table like.

And yes, it's fully C code (not C++).

Chess Engine Code Name 'Gull'
Version 0.6

id name Gull
id author ThinkingALot
option name Hash type spin default 64 min 16 max 1024

There must be a hash usage bug. No matter how much hash is configured, only 94 mb is used, according to Arena and Task Manager. :?:

When naming the engine I didn't know that there existed one with the same name in Spanish :?. So if the Gavoita author thinks it inappropriate I will rename Gull to something else.

I decided that not sending Hash option may confuse some GUIs. Actually the hash size is fixed to 64Mb. Additional memory is consumed by pawn hash and material table.
