Looking for Sjeng 12 from 2001

[Yannik Snoeckx]

Hello !

At the end of march, I had asked for some old free winboard engines and have received great help. Thanks to that I am now able to run my dinosaur league.

I had been warned it would be time consuming and it is indeed. So I've decided to shorten a bit the time control from 4+2 to 2+2 and to add resign options and 4 pieces tablebases. About 5000 games have already been played in this new format and I should keep you informed in a few weeks, when I get significant results. Anyway, nobody is in a hurry to discover ratings of the year 2000, I guess.

Unfortunately, I've just seen that I am still missing a 2001 engine. I had wrongly selected Sjeng 12.7 when it was released on january the 2nd 2002 (yes I am sometimes a perfectionnist).

So if anyone has Sjeng 12 (Leiden), released on the 5th of november 2001 according to the winboard news ticker, I would be very grateful if he could send it to me to complete my list.

I am also searching for four 1999 engines as it would allow me to go all the way back to 1999, but I'm not sure it would be such a blessing to find them as I already have my hands full with so many games to play. Anyway, here they are : Bringer 1.5; ExChess 3.09, ZChess 1.2 and KnightX 1.50.

Many thanks if you can help.

Please feel free to ask yourself for old engines if you wish to have them : I have now plenty of them.
Of course I am only talking about engines that are (or were) freely avalaible !

Best wishes.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I can't find Sjeng 12 leiden on this site.
There is 12.13 (that will compete for the 2002 year) and 11.2, but no 12, or at least I cannot find it.
And Dann Corbit's site "only" offers 12.9 and 11.

But maybe I missed something obvious, and if it is the case, please excuse me and if possible point a direct link to where I could download this exact Sjeng version.

Best wishes.

No, you did not miss anything, Daniel just did not read
your message carefully
Anyway, I will send you the Sjeng version you asked for,
resurrected from my 3000+ engine versions archive.

Well, you have neither released an email address with your profile,
nor in this thread. Thus I cannot send you anything...

P.S. Is this old one I found in my address book still valid?
yannik.snoeckx@iXXXfomaXXXiak.ch
(replace 'XXX' by 'n')

Hi Guenther,

Yes, this adress is still valid.
I've already received the engine.

Many thanks.
You're my best "dealer" of old engines.

Best wishes.

Oops, I'm sorry !
I thought 12.13 is the Leiden version.
