Forget Deep Blue. The real fun in chess has always been in playing a true human opponent, who wavers and makes mistakes like you do. AlphaChess allows you to do just that, playing another live person over the Internet or over a local network. The interface is very simple, without flashy graphics, but you can select different colors for the board and choose from 20 different chess sets with different pictures for pieces. While playing, you can text chat with your opponent. There is no single-player version in this game-just like real chess, you have to find a real opponent and play online.

Shallow Blue supports PolyGlot formatted (.bin) opening books. To use an opening book, the OwnBook and BookPath UCI options must be set to true and the path to the opening book file respectively. These options can be set from your chess GUI or the UCI interface as follows. But the improvement in chess software did not stop in 1997. Today, inexpensive computers with their large memories and sophisticated software can play chess as well as Deep Blue did with its massively parallel processors. The programmers had proved it was possible to build a chess-playing machine that could defeat the best human opponent.”.

Reply by Alucard.FA on August 12, 2006While i agree that AlphaChess is not something totaly revolutionary i would like to say that i personally think that the graphics are way better than Yahoo's simply because you get to choose whatever graphic you like so if you don't like the way it looks just change it to something you do like!
And you are not required to know the IP because an online server keeps a list of game so you can simply choose it in the list, the ip address is only needed if you play on a network that is not connected to the internet (like at work maybe).Secondly the pointer problem was fixed a long time ago and alot of changes and new features have been added over the year, like saving and loading a game (which Yahoo doesn't offer).So please download AlphaChess and give it a try now!Thank you.Marc.
