re:Majestic Chess? - 2006/10/10 07:43
It may not be as strong as some other programs, but you can be assured on any modern computer it will be way above patzer. I bought it on the idea that it came with a winboard engine, but I never heard ever got it working outside the Majestic GUI.
The engine is a derivative of WChess. Wchess was at one time near the top of the PC engines - finishing with a strong score in the 1994
Aegon toutnament I believed. Dave Kittinger , the engine author, is well known in chess computer programming circles. He is also the engine author of Novag's Star Diamond and Star Sapphire - they are the strongest dedicated machines in production today.
His programs tend to play very aggressive and do well on these minature processors used in dedicated machines.
I ended up selling my copy on Ebay for about $10 because I prefer the other GUIs like Arena, Winboard, or Chess Partner better. They have more flexibility (ability to run many different engines) and have nice clean visuals. With Majestic you either play Wchess in the Majestic
GUI or you don't play at all.
Majestic does require the Cd for security toplay , so once you do sell the CD, the progam in no longer operable..
