A Free Chess Engine, intended to be used by children and teenagers learning how to play Chess.
To compile the source code of ChessD Bot, just type in a terminal:
make
To play on the terminal, just type:
chessdbot
To choose a level ranging from 1% to 100% (i.e. 25%), type either with or without the "%":
chessdbot -l 25%
To play using a Chess interface (i.e. xboard), just type:
xboard -fcp "./bin/chessdbot -l 25"
To run a chessdbot as a user of a ChessD Server you have to use the bots.py program (./bin/bots.py), but first you need to configure it by editing the file config.xml . You can see the commented examples inside of config.xml, to learn how to configure bots.py. With bots.py configured, just type the following commands to get it running:
cd bin/ bots.py -c ../config.xml
