Development on CPP1 has stopped now that a new program called POS is under development. CPP1 - An experimental OO chess programWhat is it?A chess-program :o)It's an experimental one: not because of the bugs, but because of the algorithms used. Not just one based on the shannon-algorithm, but several. And, the most important one; it is not brute force.
Xboard/WinBoardThe program should now fully support xboard/winboard. Start it with commandline "-iomode xboard".
DownloadPlease report all bugs/traps/etc. to folkert@vanheusden.com. If possible, include a screendump.
Mailinglist:An announcement- and discussion mailinglist has been started on which I will announce new versions of my chess-programs and things related to chess.Send an e-mail to minimalist@vanheusden.com with in the subject 'subscribe chess' to subscribe. ScreenshotsIt's a console-application so screenshots are not that usefull, but what the heck: screenshot.
