Super-Micro-Max Chess Engine

The world's smallest chess playing program just got smaller!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smmax/

@Steve.R: How did you find the link to it?

Never mind. Anyway just got... smaller! ;)

Sorry, just saw this.

Super-Micro-Max links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smmax/files/

This I know, I'm the author of the shrinking effort! :)

The question was for curiosity: how did you find the link the day after the publishing, since I didn't advertise about it and if you do not specifically google the exact terms "super micro max chess" this result is not coming out!!...
(I was willing to write you a private message but the system didn't allow me)

PS: I've just broken the 800 character barrier: now full source code file is composed of _797_ all lovely ascii printable charactes! ;)

MyBrain is a very special search engine for those who work on the Internet.

This time I think I was faster than the special search engine brain! ;)

Just to say that Super Micro play with the complete FIDE in ... 799 bytes!!
And plays pretty decently, at least for me! ;)

The program is tiny but number of changes is big. It is still possible that some bug is inside. Everyone that finds one please report it!

And I would also be glad if someone is able to estimate (even roughly) the ELO rating! :)

As usual: https://sourceforge.net/projects/smmax/files/

Stefano,
Is this the name of your new project or what?

SM-Fide 760
SM-Fide 760 - Winboard Interface 938.exe

Ciao Steve!

With “smmax” NNN I always indicated the (decreasing) number of bytes of the source code.

After evolving the "standard" super micro-max (that doesn't take into account under promotion, castling and en-passant) with the management of FIDE rules I created another parallel version called “sm-fide” that - as the other - have NNN as suffix to indicate the source code size.

Then with this last release of this “fide” version I created a variant of it with embedded the “winboard interface” and suffixed it with the new code size.

To recap answering your question:
- “SM-Fide 760” is the fide version with source length of 760 with character interface
- “SM-Fide 760 - Winboard Interface 938” is the program above (the 760 bytes one) with embedded winboard interface and the new source length of 938 bytes

PS: on the repository there is also a suffix “l4” that indicates the search tree depth of 4 (the other – slower – has 5)

Hope is more clear! :)

Nice idea. Thanks Stefano.

A completely rewritten new release: 583 bytes of executable file playing within full fide rules and with a nice color "point and move" interface as a bonus! ;)
(ref. http://sourceforge.net/projects/smmax/files/smex%20583%20fide.zip/download)

And also the smaller 455 bytes version! :)
