It would be nice to hear about experiences on the donation ware version of SMIRF 8x8 and 10x8 Fullchess GUI + Engine running via Wine or CrossOver. To the SMIRF download page ...

Many already are knowing this multivariant approach. Now it seems, the donationware-version also could be installed without problems in MS Vista systems, too. Feedback to that would be welcomed. Download is possible via: http://www.10x8.net/down/SmNewSetup.exe Donations (also via PayPal) would be welcomed. (There always is a significantly improved bonus engine sent to serious donators.)

The SMIRF GUI now is providing five languages: English, German, French, Swedish and Spanish. Maybe someone is interested in translating into additional languages. It is also able to import and export even 10x8 games in PGN format.

Currently there is an interesting longtime match between both top protagonists in 10x8 chess: see at http://gothicchess.b...smirf-blog-game.html

Living Room / Dark Chess Variant searchs for a realization.
« on: October 15, 2006, 01:31 AM »
Hi programmers!

As you know I am about to improve my playing multivariant chess program SMIRF. Actually I have been asked, to also implement the Dark Chess variant as played at http://brainking.com, which is highly recommended for to play variants online. The explained rules of Dark Chess could be found there, too.

But that game now would not need a GUI including sophisticated intelligence, but instead to establish a live contact between two players, unhiding their covered positions move by move. This program should enable people to play Dark Chess at home, without the need to communicate using the internet or Brainking.

Thus programming that variant is somehow outside of my interests, and therefore it needs some other interested people to discuss and program solutions for it. I thought, this site could be a good place for to ask for motivated people, because I already have found a lot of approaches here related to chess or to communicate games.

If you are interested in such a project, please contact Mr. Walter Montego at Brainking, who is an active playing member there at Brainking. He would highly welcome any activities concerning his favorite variant Dark Chess.

Best regards, Reinhard.

Borland C++ Builder Contest / Which Builder Version ?
« on: April 29, 2006, 07:58 AM »
Is the contest participation limited to a special Borland Builder version e.g. BDS 2006 ?

Reinhard.

You can find an article on this at: http://community.borland.com/

Unfortunately I cannot benefit from this yet, because the German language version still is not supported.

SMIRF

I just have changed my SMIRF program to become a pure donationware program. So some pieces of text might still mention 'shareware,' where now 'donationware' is meant. Also some parts of its documentation still have to be translated into English. Nevertheless the program is beta yet, it should work.

Regards, Reinhard.

P.S.: Beta tester feed backs are welcomed !

P³.S.: Now an always actual download (~1.7 MB) could be found at my page:

http://www.chessbox.de/Compu/schachsmirf_e.html

At problems with SMIRF first try to delete the local SmirfGUI.ini file once.

Borland C++ Builder Contest / Please explain ...
« on: April 09, 2006, 02:01 PM »
I still have some problems to participate, because:

a) Why is it necessary to open my source code? I have no control who would have access to it then.
    (I am not willing to make an open source project out of my programs)

b) Why must participating donationware be based on freeware? Why not on shareware?
    (the difference: the latter will work unrestrictedly only after making a donation)

c) Why has this contest been published in English language only? Are German programmers excluded?

Regards, Reinhard.
