LarsenVB was inspired by 'Faile 0.6 by' Adrien M.

Regimbald, which was also the base for the engine 'Sjeng'. I want to thank Luca Dormio for his permission to use his LarsenVB source. ChessBrainVB is also based on many great ideas from the following people: Marco Costabla/Tord Romstad/Joona Kiiski (Stockfish sources): Search logic, king safety, piece evaluation. Search logic and evaluation are based an Stockfish 7 with adaptions to non-bitboard data structure and search changes that perform better for slower move generation and evaluation.

Network consultant salary. Computers rule and humans drool in the world of chess. Since the moment Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov, the abyss of skill between human and computers has been getting wider. Nowadays, every avid chess enthusiast can download a chess program and watch intense chess battles being played with precision and skill beyond which even the top grandmasters dream of, and it can easily be done for free, provided you already have a computer and internet connection. When I first downloaded a UCI chess engine, I was a bit confused as to how it all worked. I googled something along the lines of, “best free computer chess program,” clicked the first thing that caught my eye, and before I knew it, I had a file named Stockfish 5 64 bit.exe that could play at super grandmaster strength.

I wanted a challenge, and it seemed that I had one! I excitedly double-clicked the file and, alas, a black window popped up with the three names of the programmers who wrote the marvelous piece of code but nothing else. What I didn’t know was that I had to have a separate software to use the chess engine, something called GUI. GUI is short for graphical user interface and though it was a little confusing at first, I eventually got Stockfish running and got the worst whipping in my life. The concept of an interaction between a chess engine and its GUI is really quite easy to understand.
