Live Knightmate games!

[H.G.Muller]

To celebrate the arrival of a new WinBoard engine that can play the variant Knightmate, namely Dabbaba, I have started a demonstration match in it between Dabbaba and Fairy-Max. Live viewing of the games is possible at my Battle-of-the-Goths webserver:

Because Fairy-Max seems to be a bit stronger, I did include several time-handicapped versions of Fairy-Max in the gauntlet for Dabbaba, with time-odds factor 3 and 9 (next to the normal one). Nominal time control is 40/9', so the handicapped versions play 40/3' and 40/1'.

If anyone knows other WinBoard engines that can play Knightmate, please let me know, so I can include them in a tourney!

That's great Harm! I'll be watching with interest and nice of you to give
Dabbaba a sporting chance.
