I am starting a new Chess Program . My development schedule
has me entering the 2005 CCT with it. Also, the schedule calls for
Beta testers starting January 15 2005. I will make weekly releases
on Saturdays starting January 15 2005 .

How does the new program differ from Noonian?
o It will be object oriented
o A different playing personality
(Noonian was meant to be very positional)

If you would like to be a beta tester, respond to this. I will put you
on my email list. A web site will be created for easy downloads.

What you should do as a tester:
o Minimum:
Run the benchmark and report the results and platform.
Play a few games with it or test it with your favorite program.

o Maximum:
Run the benchmark
Run a gauntlet of any size
Maybe you could analyze a few of the losses and give me a head
start on the improvement effort.

Hello Charles

A new engine is always good news. I would be interested to try it of course

I can only promise a few tests, but I'll include your new engine in my next cycle of ChessWar - starting in April.

By the way, I would be glad to get for my collection the final (or the last) version of NoonianChess. The one I have here is 3.314.

Best regards,

Olivier

Hi Charles,

Good to hear again from you. I thought Noonian was dead, now at least it has a successor.

This was a response

Merry Christmas,
