Replicant is a very simple Chess Engine that can only run on the Tim Mann's Winboard Graphical User Interface.

I haven't implemented 'hashtables' or 'tablebases' yet, but Replicant can play under the full rules of chess :-) It recognizes the Stalemate Condition, the Draws by both the three fold repetition rule and the 50 moves rule, etc.

I think Replicant can be closed to 2000 ELO! Try it!

Version 1.2a: 2002/02/09

  • Some random evaluation (pieces values; strategic...)
  • Every time you start Winboard + engine you get a new 'personality' with a different behavior! 
    This version don't play better than original but it's much more fun play with this. This gives some inconstant temperament (like humans) at engine :)))
  • This version needs cygwin.dll.
