  Description : computer chess engine, calculates chess moves

 Advancement of the strong chess engine fruit, it is
 even stronger, and will be further developed. As communication
 protocol it uses the UCI (universal chess interface), so you
 need an UCI capable frontend to play against it.

This is one of the strongest chess programs on the planet. 
Hell of an opponent and stronger than 90% of the commercial 
chess engines.

Re: Bug#324677: ITP: fruit -- Fruit is an UCI-only chess engine.

2005-08-23 Thread Oliver Korff
Thanks for all the good advice, I will be more descriptive with the "short" 
and "long" description, as I see that this is really necessary. 

And I will be more careful while using reportbug, because I don't want to 
bother people with ""Fruit is ..., Fruit is ..., Fruit is..." -- sorry

Where I don't agree is changing the package name.  fruit is the name of the 
original package and I don't  see the point in changing that. We have 
"orange, plum and apple2" in debian and nobody complains, because fruits ;) 
are not to be mixed up with real fruits in computer language.

Thanks again for taking care,

oliver

P.S.: knights is in sid, and I have a package ready for polyglot, which you 
can use to connect xboard and scid

 is a chess engine protocol adaptor. It connects a UCI protocol engine to 
xboard frontend.
 Common chess frontends have a winboard/xboard input interface, modern
 chess engines speak the UCI "universal chess interface" protocol. This
 protocol adaptor makes it possilble to use standard chess frontends,
 like xboard or scid with UCI speaking engines and play chess against
 them.

ITP: stockfish -- strong chess engine, to play chess against

2009-10-11 Thread Oliver Korff

Severity: wishlist

* Package name: stockfish
  Version : 1.5.1JA
  Upstream Author : Marco Costalba 
* URL : http://www.mediafire.com/?5jx12zdyygw
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : strong chess engine, to play chess against

 free chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. It is not a complete
 chess program, but requires some UCI (universal chess interface) compatible
 GUI like XBoard with PolyGlot, eboard, Jose, Arena or scid in order to be
 used comfortably. The strongest open source chess engine by october
 2009 in the computer chess rating list CCRL. It is written in C++ and uses
 multiple threads and cores. It is capable of Chess960 and has experimental
 support for polyglot opening books.

# snip

Why another chess engine? -- Why another editor?

Playing serious chess means also to analyze your own moves with the strongest
computer program currently available. Strength here is a relative
impression of the user. We give him various possibilitys.

building crafty (non-free) automagically

2011-03-01 Thread Oliver Korff
Hi,

I just want to know, if there is anything, that I can do to make crafty
(non-free) to be built on all architectures. Of cause there is a
XS-Autobuild: yes in the control file, and the build was officially
requested.

https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=crafty

It says, that auto-building works for: amd64 ia64 powerpc s390 sparc

On: alpha, hppa, hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel
autobuilding seems not to work.

On: armel the message is: Not-For-Us, so I assume, that crafty is banned
here.

Any help would be very kind and please tell me a single e-mail address,
that is connected to the problem, then I will not "spam" all arch@buildd
adresses.

Regards,

Oliver

Note: It might be, that crafty does not compile on some of these
architectures.

OK, I didn't know. Will there be auto-builders for non-free in the future?

I did as you suggested.

I always use the PTS and this links first to

https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=crafty

and only as the second link to:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=crafty

Thanks for the quick reply,
