ANDSCACS ======== http://www.andscacs.com/ Andscacs is a chess engine. It's in alpha stage, in initial state of developement, so use at your own risk! I don't offer any warranties. Is done by Daniel Jose Queralto cdani @ yahoo.com. Is an UCI engine, so it requires an uci capable user interface to use it. For example can be used with the free Arena: http://www.playwitharena.com/ or Chessbase http://chessbase-shop.com/ I wish to thank many people that publish information about chess engines programming in Internet, especially http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/, http://talkchess.com! Also make special mention of open source modules that are very instructive, as for example Stockfish, Crafty, Protector, Discocheck, Gull...
