There has been a lot of contention regarding its origins, with some claiming that it is based upon a reverse-engineered Rybka; however, there has been little in the way of compelling evidence, and Vasik Rajlich has remained silent on the issue. I've included it here because its source-code has now been available for some time, and is likely to be used by other engine authors. These engines aren't included on the CCRL and CEGT rating lists due to the alleged cloning.

There's an interesting discussion on the subject. We'll have to wait to see if they show any improvements. Update July 2010: Vasik stated that 'Ippolit is disassembled Rybka 3 with changes' in response to an email from Sven Schule, published on. On the other hand, 'BB' produced evidence that the differences between Ippolit and Rybka are substantive, as discussed on.

Watch this space, as he hopes it will make the top 3 engines soon! Deep Junior 11.2 demo It's great to see a useable free version of this top commercial engine!

Famous for its sacrificial style and knowledge of compensation, Junior often gives noticeably different analysis from other engines, making it a useful source for ideas. The free unactivated version is limited to 16 ply, which is enough to be useful in analysis, and more than enough for playing against! (If you have trouble with multiPV using 11.2, try 11.1.) Toga II 2.0 / 3.1.2 / 1.3.1 Based on the ground-breaking open source engine Fruit 2.1, this engine adds another 100 Elo points to sit close to the top of the rating lists. At a similar strength to the best commercial engines, this is an essential download! I find the analysis and evaluation very reliable, and the play attractive. Pro Deo 1.6 The last free version of the formerly commercial program, Rebel. This has a very human-like playing style, which means that it's not only satisfying to play against, but also very good for providing sensible analysis.

It comes with some interesting personalities with different styles of play: I particularly like playing against Tal and Q3! Tip: replace the wb2uci.eng file with, so that the personalities can be accessed directly from the GUI. There are some additional opening books.

Thinker 5.4 This is easily the most entertaining engine out there at the moment, in the style of Mikhail Tal. If it doesn't sacrifice a piece every so many moves, I think it gets a headache!

There are frequent updates, some seemingly with more sacrificial pizazz than others. It has been climbing up the rating lists and the latest version is now the strongest free engine after Rybka 2.2.

A rather huge downside is that the engine does not display any analysis!! It's a winboard engine (like Pro Deo), so it either needs to be installed as a winboard engine or used with the wb2uci adaptor.

On the website, as well as the winboard engine, there is also a very simple GUI version, and a Pocket PC version with a FICS interface. Homer 2.0.1 Say 'Hello' to Homer! This is a good engine for playing against, with adjustable styles and some pre-programmed personalities. It also has the very useful limit strength UCI option.

Many, if not all, the commercial programs benefitted from the open-source Fruit - here's your chance to see how the original programmer developed it! Delfi 5.4 After Pro Deo, this engine has one of the more human-like playing styles, which can be good to play against. It is possible to limit the strength to approximately a 1000 ELO player in the UCI options, which is good for beginners. Also available is Delfi GUI and a Pocket PC version. Glass 1.6 An engine with a full range of personalities for playing against. Hiarcs 13.1 demo Another commercial engine with a fine pedigree is Hiarcs.

Strong engines worth downloading include, (which works as both a UCI and a winboard engine), Naum, Bright, and Spark. And are engines that display their own interface when not used in another GUI.

Download free chess engines Chess engine is the unique software which is built into the program shell (e.g. 'Fritz', 'Arena', 'Shredder') thus multiplying the force of the game shell. For example, 'Kasparov Chess' is very good and clever shell.

The maximum rating which can be set in it is 2600. And the rating of the chess engines reaches 3000-3200. That is why the chess engines are so popular. Where do the chess engines originate from and who makes them? This question is not trivial, vice versa it is quite actual, so it is worth talking about. The first record of the chess engine was made about 20 years ago.

That was just the time when the UCI standard was developed - the universal chess interface, allowing the chess engine to be connected to the graphic interface of the program shell. The engine made to this standard can be easily connected to any chess program. The standard was worked out by Stephan Meyer-Kahlen, German programmer, who was born in 1968 in Dusseldorf.

He is also the founder of one of the most famous chess programs - Shredder, which is the 12-times world champion among chess machines. The UCI standard was presented to the world by Rudolf Huber. The standard has great advantages. For example, if the engine does not save the database of the games played (although it is better if this task is performed by the engine), then one can easily manage this database by UCI. As the UCI protocol is absolutely free, it gives it the advantage over the other protocols. It can be used for private purposes and as the open-source as well. This protocol was used by only a few programs until Chessbase Company (producing Fritz) began to support this protocol in 2002.

Nowadays, this protocol is used by about 100 chess programs. The majority of the chess engines are made very thoroughly and published in the net absolutely free of charge. In Russia there are the developers making engines, as well. SmarThink developed by Sergey Markov, GreKo developed by Vladimir Medvedev, Strelka developed by Yuri Osipov. These engines, as well as many others, can be downloaded from our website.
