Durandal

Overview

Durandal is a very simple UCI chess engine, able to play traditional chess, Fischer random chess, Capablanca chess and Capablanca random chess.

Despite his heroic name, Durandal is not a very formidable opponent. You should manage to beat him easily.

Option

Durandal plays almost instantly. If you wish, you can change this behaviour by starting the engine with parameter -w or --wait.

Build

To build Durandal, you need the Free Pascal compiler.

To build the release version, you can use the following command line:

fpc durandal.pas -Mobjfpc -Sh -dRELEASE -O3 -CX -XX -Xs

To build the debug version:

fpc durandal.pas -Mobjfpc -Sah -dDEBUG -ghl

If you need a pure random mover:

fpc durandal.pas -Mobjfpc -Sh -dRANDOM_MOVER

Logo

Norbert Raimund Leisner made beautiful logos for Durandal.

Author

Durandal is written for the Free Pascal compiler by Roland Chastain.
