According to the developer, Micro-Max has an Elo rating of about 2,000 (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/huochess http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/huochess). A 2,000 Elo rating corresponds to "expert" per the USCF, or about the top 1% of players (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_expert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_expert).
I've played at least a hundred games against it and lost every one. :P
- hsmyers 16y agoWithout attempting to read the obscured code, the reason for the middling high Elo lies in the algorithms implemented. One of the AI discoveries is the sad fact that chess does not need intelligence, just horse power and a good per move check list. The algorithms listed provide both...assuming a decent implementation--- I can't tell because I'm not about to translate the code :)

- Xk 16y agoWould you tell me how to enter my moves so that I can play it? I've been trying to figure out the correct format but can't seem to get it.
- starpilot 16y agoI played it in Windows via Winboard (http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50387 http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5...), which has Micro-Max set as the default engine.
- yhager 16y agojust enter source and dest, e.g.: d2d4 to move the pawn at d2 to d4.
