[net.chess] Chess Sources.

Would anyone know where I might obtain sources to a reasonably good
chess program?  The sources should be public domain and written in
C.  I appreciate whatever help this mailing list can provide.

I would appreciate it if you would pass any responses on to me. I can't run C, but I would like to translate it into languages that I can use (Mesa, Pascal, or even Basic if necessary.)

Please send info to Reed.es@PARC-MAXC.

Thanx,

See newton@cit-20.  He has translated the Pascal program that appeared
in Byte a few years ago into C.  It needs a lot more work to play
decently but it searches in the normal iterative 4.xish manner and is
promising.  Also, it uses some Thompson code and understands both
algebraic and English in their various forms.
