Is bchessmaster a vietnamese chess program? It destroyed cyclone 6.2 easily. I'm just wondering if anyone has more info because I can't seem to find anything in english or chinese on it. Thanks!

I have never heard of it.

I am not sure what exactly you mean by 'destroyed Cyclone easily'. Does that mean it won 49-1 or something like that?

Note that there float around many illegal copies of Cyclone versions, often renamed by their cloners (and often packed with viruses!).

think you're probably right. Anyway here are the download links:

I don't know how to set it up, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of virus. It beat cyclone in blitz games if that means anything. I think you're right in this being a cloned copy of cyclone, because it's very unlikely you've never heard of it.

You need B-chessMaster Version 2011 to run.

bchessmaster v7.1
I don't know much about this engine but I was able to get it run under Winboard with the help of Inbetween. It does beat Cyclone in bliz game 3 Min Plus 3 Sec. This engine answer to "uci" command but use "position fen". Maybe a hybrid of bug + cyclone.

Copy engine, Inbetween.exe, and Inbetween.ini to a folder c:\test
under Winboard load this engine as an ucci engine.
"Inbetween.exe" -fd "C:\test" -fUCCI

This is my Inbetween configuration file
