Armageddon Chess

Post by eMTe »

I noticed that we dont have any chess games, submitted or uploaded, good or bad, serious or fancy. Looking for good freeware chess game via google is a waste of time and it's really hard to say which is good and which is bad. Unless you're at least a semi-pro player. I picked this one randomly, I admit it. :roll:

The name of the program is connected to a moment, when it was published for the first time. This moment was in 31 December 1999. It is actually a pun of the ending of world as predicted for the year 2000 The name is the jocose realization of the prediction. Armageddon is a chess program with his own GUI, but it could be used with Winboard GUI. It could communicate with other programs by RS232 port. One can play with friends on a LAN network too. It can utilize a massive endgame database library.

Armageddon has some chessboards, figures and clocks. You can play games with any time control (also with the Fisher's clock). Armageddon can also create chess diagrams for your web site.

The AI seems to be quite good and I like the fact that there are some difficulty settings and options, but not too many. So the game is still easy to use (even for beginners) and doesn't get confusing.
