Deep Saros
Free U.CI.I chess engine
Deep Saros U.C.I. engine
------------------------
Deep Saros is a chess engine free for non-commercial use. Deep Saros derived from an old version of the strong free software "Ivanhoe". Deep Saros also includes ideas and pieces of code derived from the various series software Ippolit (RobboLito, Igorrit). In addition to the author's ideas, Deep Saros also contains ideas taken from various free chess engines, including Glaurung, Fruit and Crafty.
Deep Saros is, at present, an experimental program, although in practical tests has been very strong and competitive.
Deep Saros has no graphical interface and its use is recommended to install one of the many GUIs available, both free and commercial, such as: Arena, Scid, Winboard/Xboard, Josè, Fritz, Schredder, Chessbase, etc. ...
For use on Winboard/Xboard, you must download and install the free program "Polyglot".
Currently, the only versions available are the following:
Deep Saros 2.3d2
Fixed more bugs, and add some more U.C.I. options
In a little time, instructions in English ... Please, use Google Translator! :-)
Unfortunately my computer has only Windows 32bit and Linux 64bit but, after the enourmous gains from the sale of Deep Saros, I may finally buy a new computer, and release the 64bit Windos© version... :-)
U.C.I. Options.
---------------------
- Hash: Amount of hash table memory used by the program in MB. Default 128, min 4, max 1024/16384 (32/64-bit).

News U.C.I. Options respect the previous version:

- OverTimeBook: the program spends more time on the next move out of the openings book. (min 0 max 20 default 5)
- CheckOverTime: the program uses a time extension, in case of check to the King

We say........
whilst the maker of Deep Saros acknowledges his compile is 99% IvanHoe and we know Peter Pan showed him to compile for linux and windows we have opted to place it here along with Houdini (another mostly IvanHoe based compileing )
for now its only a 32 bit engine but one of the most promising new engines of the year
