Computer Chess

Anyone who has ever known me will be aware that I have this quirky hobby of computer chess. I am fascinated with the idea of creating a program that competes in a game of pure skill.

In the future I will add reviews and test positions to this page. For now please take a look at the following links which are some of my favorite on the web.

By the way, you may be interested in downloading Monarch my UCI and Winboard compliant chess program. It's still quite young but hopefully it'll grow up quickly.
