As a fellow chess coder I find this very cool, but we should be careful with the use of the word "strong." What ELO (for the non-chess people, rating) does this play at? I very much doubt it's truly what most would consider "strong" nowadays. In fact I doubt it plays above even 1500 - that's not strong. Great example of a simple chess engine in Python though? Surely!
- thomasahle 12y agoYou are right of course :) Sunfish is nowhere the level of 'real' engines. It is only strong compared to fellow Python engines, which I get from Ruxy Sylwyka who 'promoted' it to play in the 'Java league' http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_view=threads&p=562610 http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_view=thre... ;) Still it's probably less than 1100 ELO. Maybe 1200 with pypy.
