Looking for chess source code

Sorry for taking long guys i was still checking out thi sites

==>Bcladd; http://home.comcast.net/~tckerrigan/ --
can you help me to make it drive the Winboard/Xboard, the code seems easy to understand so i want it drive a Good GUI as Winboard. I have downloaded a winboard but there seems to be loads of info on how to do this such that i don't know which to try and what not to try.
Am still checking on
http://www.chessopolis.com/cchess.htm,
coz there really seems to be loads of them and thanks man for this site.

==>sunnycoder; GNU seems not be updated(at leats i think so) this days and looks as if it's files are corrupted bcoz it compiles but does not run.You can help to me build(or if there is something which need to done on my VC compiler first) it if i might be doing something wrong.

Honestly, I have never run Winboard. I know crafty can interface directly. I THINK (this is from memory and I am getting old) tscp can parse an X/Winboard instruction stream. Just have to get it to standard input.

The big deal is to make sure that the GUI and the chess engine are separated and communicate through a well defined interface. That way you can minimize your changes in the engine if the interface changes and vice versa. I would suggest you look at how crafty interfaces with X/Winboard. That is the one I remember being pretty good at that; there may be others at chessopolis.

Good luck,

Winboard is easy to utilise with any number of different arifacts - such as the chessopolis and Kerrigan files.

If in doubt, there is a great tutorial on OXO here:  http://homepages.aol.com/~matteus/oxogame.htm

OXO is very similar to chess, in that it is played on a sort of chequer board. It's is similar to 'drafts' or 'draughts' (don't know about the spelling) - which is about different coloured circle pieces jumping over one another - but it's obviously easier to understand than chess.

Finally, OXO is probably best for to start with an game engine (or 'enjiyne')  as twixt the twain, it is similar to noughts and crosses - which has a similar kind of concept to chess, but is maybe even more complex...

I think of it like this --- chess has all these pieces which do all these different and hard to understand and remember stuff, like the castle which goes diagonally, and the horsey which jumps two steps left and one forward, or one steps back and two steps left or whatever, and the king who is only allowed going once, and the queen who can go any number but only in one direction - then the bishtop which is kind of like the opposite to the castle ----

all this is too much for the average PROFESSOR to remember, let alone us mere mortals and programmers etc...

However, take some respite in these wise words - Chess is overly complicated - just like high level languages. **BUT** oxo is quite simple ---- However, look at the two - Chess has all these silly rules, just like high level languages, but oxo doesn't - only you can put your O or X in a square and hope to win - this is like machine code ....

... Now then - ask a programmer who he is more scared of - someone who is highly complex and very much genius chess player, who only can program in Visual Basics,

..... OR !!....

... Simple Simon oxo man who plays him noughts and crosses at lunch time and programs in machine code which is probably the language which made the whole earth if you look into it - i haven't looked at this yet, but I think maybe this could be the key to evolution and Darwin is indeed wrong, as DNA may be machine code ?
