Robbolito 0.10


RobboLito


RobboLito is an extremely strong open-source UCI chess engine by:
Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, Igor Igorovich Igoronov, and Roberto Pescatore

description:
RobboLito is a UCI windows 'console' application, meaning that it has no GUI (graphical user interface).  there are several free programs that provide a GUI, along with a rich set of user-friendly features.  three of the most popular free GUIs are: winboard, chess-gui, and arena

note:
RobboLito does not support: own book, egbbs, tablebases, or chess variants

rating:
~ 3200 ELO
downloads:
RobboLito 0.10 SMP
(optimized windows 32-bit and 64-bit executables and readme files)

RobboLito has been completely translated from the original Italo-Albanian to English, and it does not include any of RobboLito's original tablebase code (v. 0.084).  these tablebases are not needed, as RobboLito demonstrates extremely strong endgame play without them.  the engine recognizes many draws and solves endgame positions that even Rybka 3 and other commercial programs miss.

RobboLito (for Windows) is part of the Ippolit family of engines,

This excellent chess ship is a truly glorious achievement of the October Revolution and the Decembrists movement!

Grunfeld: 15.Ne5! N

Una novità interessante nella Grunfeld per il Bianco, emersa durante un test di Robbolito 10, che fra parentesi gioca meglio di Rybka 4.1.
