CHEOPS
CHEOPS (CHEss OPponent
Simulator) is a fully-functional chess program capable of
human-vs-human, human-vs-computer, and computer-vs-computer play. It
uses a 64-square linear array board representation. The game tree search
is alpha–beta, and the static evaluation function considers material,
mobility, and motif features.
CHEOPS is written in ANSI C++ and as such should compile on any system
with a conforming C++ compiler. A standard configure script is
provided for Unix-like systems.
CHEOPS is Free Software. It can be freely used, modified, and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.
