Chess

Sjakk is a chess program which works both as a standalone program (only norwegian language on the buttons) and as a winboard engine. The “original” name sjakk is the Norwegian word for chess. It is programmed in VB Express 2010 (which makes it quite slow) and is currently under development. It is not a particularly strong engine, I expect it to have an ELO rating at about 2400 on a fast computer (in 2011).

I would like to thank the community on TalkChess for lots of good ideas, Ed Schröder the author of Rebel for a great guide, Mediocre chess guides as a good starting point and a lots of other great ideas on the web. I would also like to thank Graham Banks, Oliver Deville, Leo Dijksman and Aser Huerga and others for doing a great job on testing engines.
