Knights +is called a chess 'interface' because it does not come with it's own computer +players. There are several very good computer players ( Chess Engines ) +already. Unfortunatly, most chess engines do not include fully featured GUIs. +Instead, they rely on other programs ( like Knights ) to fill the gap. + +- How can I learn more about Knights? + +If you're interested in learning more, you should visit our project's website +at http://knights.sourceforge.net + +- What Chess Engines work with Knights? + +Knights should support any engine which uses the XBoard protocol developed by +Tim Mann. Knights will also offer it's own protocol for future use. To date, +the following chess engines have been confirmed to work with Knights. If you +know of another, please let me know so I can update this list. + + - GNUChess v4.0 patchlevel 80 + - GNUChess v5.02 + - Crafty v18.09 + - Crafty v18.10 + - KnightCap v3.3 + - Sjeng v10.0 + - BabyChess + +- What can I do to help Knights? + +Knights can always use help in a number of areas. The best way to get started +would be to express your interests on the knights-devel mailing list. You can +sign up from here: + + http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31461 + +Currently, we're very interested in talking to a graphics artist about +designing some new themes, and we would like to talk to some advanced +chess players about helping to develop the tutorials. + |
