In the last release of The Crazy Bishop, I have added a part of the
source code. Here is what I added to the web page:
"
I will not distribute the source code of TCB. I fear that distributing
it can have unpleasant consequences, such as the risk of meeting a
modified version in a tournament, which happened to Crafty in
Jakarta. I think that keeping the code secret is a good way to
preserve the fun of competition.
However, this distribution includes the source code of the C++
chess library used by TCB, along with a very simple (and poor)
chess engine demonstrating how to use it. This chess library could
be useful for people wanting to write their own chess program. By
subclassing the CEngine class, you will be able to concentrate on
the programming of the chess engine only, and the class library will
give you for free a console user interface, xboard/Zippy interface,
search tree analysis tools, pgn file input/output, and more to come
in future versions. Since no programer showed interest in this class
library yet, it is not documented for more than my personal use. If
my code raises some interest among programers, I will add the
necessary documentation.
"
Some students in a French school have to write a chess program as a
project, and decided to use my chess library. This means that I will
probably add documentation soon.
By the way, new improvements will be added very soon to my web page.
(probably before tomorrow). I am testing changes I have made this week
end before I publish them. TCB 0026 is now about 10% faster than the
previous version, with a better positional evaluation.
