Brutus Chess is a winboard-compatible chess engine. It ain t the strongest, but be carefull, a millenium or two ago he knocked out Caesar! You can play chess against Brutus either using the command-line, or using winboard, a very nicy graphical user interface. Winboard can be downloaded here. Just unzip the files into the winboard directory and start the program.
Brutus has been written in C++ and is designed in an object oriented way (as far as the speed allowed it to). Initially it has been inspired by engines like TSCP, Beowulf and Crafty. I would like to thank all authors for providing their code freely. The source code of Brutus can be downloaden below. Brutus has an alpha-beta algoritm, hashtable, opening book, null-move pruning, pondering, and a very complicated evaluation algoritm. (Complicated doesn t say it is a good one.... not yet anyway).
