I've re-compiled into windows exes a lot of the old Sjeng versions
from the source code available here >

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4560&package_id=4558

Versions compiled:
7.0 - 7.1 - 7.2 - 7.3.1 - 7.4 - 7.4.1 - 7.4.2 - 8.0

Have you got any idea of the strength of the 8.0 one?

[Jim Ablett]

Hi Martin,

None that strong. I tested them at 40/3 against latest Brutus.
4.3.1 seemed about the strongest - a bit stronger than Brutus, but I didn't play enough games to be sure. I would estimate 2000-2100 elo range at that time control in comparison to other engines.

Regards,
Jim.

[Jim Ablett]

Sorry, I mean 7.3.1

Jim.

Thanks Jim. I might want to include the 8.0 in the CCRL rating list, if it's about ~2100 ELO it could play against Micro-max and engines like it.

[Martin Thoresen]

I can't get it to work. When I load the engine it refers to a file called "gdbm3.dll" which it can't find.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Wb2Uci adapter, but this engine might need to run in a native WB GUI?

Hi Martin,

You've not done anything wrong - I have!
The exes are compiled with the 'Gnu database Library' Sjeng uses
this with it's book functions.

Re-download again - same link.

You'll find the necessary dll's with it this time.

Apologies,
Jim.

Thanks Jim, it's working fine now!

If you are interested in engines with similiar strength to micromax then I see no reason not to use faile.

Based on my memory Sjeng first versions were based on faile.
