I intensively look for old, once free and today unavailable engines. I have been supported by chess fanatics like me, but still only several engines items could make me entirely happy (if possible together with books):

Chezzz 0.88
Delfi – any version before 3.5
Amyan 1.46 or 1.49
Bestia 0.80 or 0.84
Bestia 0.88 or 0.89
Pepito 1.42
BigLion 1.0c
Asterisk 0.21or 0.30

I should be very much obliged to all those who could send them to me. Since it will fill up my collection in 100 per cent, I will not hound the Internet society but start my tests.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

The email bounced back

A few hours ago I sent (without posting a message to the forum, sorry if I caused anyone any wasted effort):

Asterisk 0.3
Bestia 0.88
Chezzz 0.88
Delfi 3.2
Pepito 1.42

It didn't seem to bounce back for me.

Very thanks to all, who send me old engines. It was my last request on this forum - I`m completely satisfied. Very sorry for involuntary caused problems.

Hello !

It looks from what I see posted that Amyan 1.46 is still missing. I dont' have it, but I can send 1.50 or 1.42 if you are interested.

I don't think you gave this forum any trouble.

I'm sure many would be pleased if you were to post the results of your tournaments with old engines here.

Best wishes.

Hi Yannik, I wouldn't mind those versions of Amyan (tmokonen @ yahoo.com).

Tony

Amyan 1.50 sent to both Adam and Tony.

I have source code for the following Amyan versions:
printf("Amyan... version 1.499, by Antonio Dieguez.\n");
printf("Amyan version 1.422\n");
printf("Amyan version 1.421\n");
printf("Amyan... version 1.46\n");

I did a build of 1.46 (32 and 64 bit compiles) and put the binaries here:
http://cap.connx.com/chess-engines/new- ... yan146.zip

I did have to make one change to get the source code to compile...
I changed:

#include <iostream.h>

to:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Old engines sent!

Can somebody send me the older versions of Amyan starting from 1.5... ?
It's not available in engine website archives anymore.

email: nswami15 at yahoo dot com.

I do remember one of the version in 1.5x series that play blitz spectacularly well, sad the last version of Amyan doesn't seem to be suited to blitz.

Btw to Dann Corbit: I do remember you writing elsewhere that one of the Amyan version was the good blitzer, can you tell me which one that was?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello !

I don't remember reading about a version that was much stronger than the others in blitz, I can't help there, sorry.

I could send you some older versions of Amyan, I have many, but could you be more specific ? 1.50 was released in 2001 and I can't imagine how many there were until 1.957 in 2005 !

Best wishes.
