2008-10-01H. G. Muller Verified as H. G. MullerNonePulsar by Mike Adams is an engine that can play Loser's Chess. Judging by it playing strength in normal Chess and Shatranj it is still a pretty weak engine. (Fairy-Max, which in itself is only a mediocre engine, crushes it in those variants.) But it might be a bigger challenge than a Java demo.View [*]
