Oh and if perhaps someone is interested in a challenge made at equal terms between modern Amigas and modern Macs it will be necessary porting Stockfish Chess Engine in Amiga.
I suppose we will see more exciting and thrilling matches then...

Funny indeed. I had already seen the video a few days ago. At that time, battel chess was a very beautiful graphic game

I live in the same city as PeriFractic, albeit in a different area, however i think i did stumble on him once at the SCCAN meeting couple years ago in Northridge but cannot remember properly how things did unfold...


...and i want to remember that, unlike Italy, people here in the US hardly go out of their usual social circles

In whole world people don't usually go out of their social circles of acquaintances...

But how this fact is related with the topic of the thread regarding Chess?

Yes but Battlechess didn't have a great Chess AI engine.

It seems to me it stopped at 1600 ELO Ranking, that is a good ranking but sure not an excellent one.

Nowadays there are two great Chess Engines open source and are Stockfish and Crafty.

Porting these engines on Amiga will be a great achievement and then Amiga and Macintosh both could challenge with same AI level...

You appear to be a careless user, for your information Stockfish 5 the chess engine, was ported to OS4 by me and Domenico Lattanzi, released in January 2015 (!) :

Domenico recently also developed a GUI application to drive the engine, Amifish:

Both the downloads are also available from Aminet, if you search well.
