I have been playing around with Joker80 and the corresponding Winboard program; I am very pleased with Joker80's performance. In my initial testing, the only program I could get to beat Joker80 was Smirf, and I needed to give Smirf over a minute to make a move while making Joker80 make all of its moves in under 5 minutes.

Joker80 soundly defeated ChessV 0.9.3 and Zillions of Games, even with a time handicap in both cases.

Anyway, some issues:

  • I can't set up a custom opening setup in Winboard, save the opening setup, and have Winboard read the setup without complaining the file is unreadable
  • It would be nice if Joker80 had support for the 'free' castling used by Grotesque and Univers Chess (not to mention my own humble contribution to 10x8 chess, Schoolbook)
