Viper

 "Viper is a simplified and considerably weaker version of the chess engine Glaurung. It's main purpose is to serve as a simple instructional example for beginning chess programmers who want to write a parallel search"

Viper SMP sources: Viper01-src.tar.gz

If anyone have all old versions of Glaurung (thanks to send them to me with exe + sources ) I will add them

From the read me files

2007-11-21: Glaurung 2.0
------------------------

The first stable (or so I hope) and feature-complete version of
Glaurung 2. The following are the main changes compared to the
previous version:

* The license has been changed from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3.

* MultiPV mode.

* Support for the "searchmoves" option in the UCI "go" command.
This means that it is possible to ask Glaurung to exclude some
moves from its analysis, or to restrict its analysis to just a
handful of moves selected by the user. This feature must also be
supported by the GUI under which Glaurung is run. Glaurung's own
GUI does currently not support this feature.

* Chess960 support now works. The program still plays this game
very badly, because of lack of opening knowledge.

* Much more aggressive pruning in the last few plies of the main
search.

* Somewhat better scaling on multi-CPU systems, and support for up
to 8 CPUs.

* Lots of new UCI parameters.

* Improved time managment, especially in games with pondering on
(i.e. when the engine is allowed to think when it's the
opponent's turn to move).

* Some evaluation improvements, and some new basic endgame
patterns.

* The program should no longer crash if the game lasts longer than
1000 plies.

* Many minor bug fixes and other tiny improvements throughout the
code.

* More generously commented code, and numerous cosmetic changes in
coding style.

2007-11-22: Glaurung 2.0.1
--------------------------

* Fixed (or so I hope) a bug which would occasionally cause one of
the search threads to get stuck forever in its idle loop.


6. Terms of use
---------------

Glaurung is free, and distributed under the GNU General Public License
(GPL). Essentially, this means that you are free to do almost exactly
what you want with the program, including distributing it among your
friends, making it available for download from your web site, selling
it (either by itself or as part of some bigger software package), or
using it as the starting point for a software project of your own.

The only real limitation is that whenever you distribute Glaurung in
some way, you must always include the full source code, or a pointer
to where the source code can be found. If you make any changes to the
source code, these changes must also be made available under the GPL.
