Hi there,

I am improving my engine, Goyaz, and I will release the new version soon. In the meanwhile, I want to know how good it is here in my country. I have found and downloaded all brazilian chess engines, but not damas7c. (error 404 in its homepage... )

It beated the previous versions of Goyaz in some Tournaments on the web (in the Winboard Olympic Chess Tournament, Goyaz managed to win one game in four, and lost the other three ). I have done a great improvement in my engine with null-moves (the new one allways beats the old one - it seems like a 300 Elo) and I am trying to download damas and see who is the best now.

If Goyaz can beat damas, it will be the second best chess engine in Brazil, loosing only to Matheus. As I am a law student, work in a court, and live in a state with no tradition in programming, it would be a great victory for me !!! If I can't beat it, I will still work a little harder (or a LOT harder ).

Damas7c competes in some tournaments and, as far as I know, is freeware, so there are some copies around the web, but I didn't find.

Anyway, I appreciate some help,

Thanks.

Here it is:

I only got them with no supporting documents. I hope I didn't violate anything here.

Thanks!

I am still loosing, but now I can test against it!

As you know, Goyaz 005 does not work properly here and i had to revert to 004. Maybe it would be a good idea to send me a beta version, so that I can test it ? My Promo tourney will start on February 9th.
