These engines are able to play a game that, when run on an up-to-date personal computer, can defeat most master players under tournament conditions. There are many chess engines such as Crafty, Fruit and GNU Chess that can be downloaded from the Internet for free. From the mid-70's to the present day, dedicated chess computers have been available for purchase. It has a simple interface yet provides many features for playing against engines, running engine tournaments, and saving games in a database.Computer Chess IC bearing the name of developer Franz Morsch (see also Deep Fritz)Ĭhess-playing computers are now accessible to the average consumer. Below is a list of the most popular free chess GUIs. Free GUIsĪ few programmers have written graphical interfaces for playing chess and have generously provided them free of charge. For more information, see the User Guide. Do not use the Rated Game, Sparring, Friend Mode, or Handicap and Fun features. This is less intuitive than the slider control or “match my playing strength” features of the Shredder and Hiarcs Chess Explorer GUIs, but it’s the only way to manually set playing strength in the Fritz GUI. To play against a MadChess at reduced strength, enable the LimitStrength parameter and set the Elo parameter to a value near your rating. All of these methods use a proprietary, non-UCI Fritz engine, no matter which engine is loaded in the GUI. Fritz provides many methods to play against a weakened chess engine (Rated Game, Sparring, Friend Mode, and Handicap and Fun), none of which are enabled for UCI engines like MadChess. However, because Fritz is a popular GUI, I will pass along this word of warning to those intending to use it to play against MadChess at reduced strength. I do not recommend Fritz because it does not support UCI_LimitStrength. In addition to supporting UCI_LimitStrength, the Shredder GUI includes many features for running engine matches and tournaments. If you configure the GUI to automatically match your playing strength, it will set the engine’s Elo rating based on your win / draw / loss record against it. Or you may configure the GUI to adjust playing strength automatically. You may adjust playing strength manually by moving an Elo slider control or entering an Elo rating number. Both Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) support UCI_LimitStrength, which allows you to calibrate chess engines to your playing strength. I recommend Shredder and Hiarcs Chess Explorer.
