Some of you pals know more about Edchess that the paltry info you get on the Internet? I know about the name of the programmers, but very little more. I suppose work stopped, but I do not know either suspect if they got an even better engine than the one you can get these days on abandonware sites. The current one you can get has a pretty decent strength at leats running in actual gear. I became interested in this program for many reasons I will tell later....

some of us could have attempted an answer, but there are more
chess programs than there are stars in the sky.

Hi,Fernando
I found only two versions of this program v.2.30 and v.3. Unfortunately very little information.
Did not play against this program yet. |

I suppose sometimes the appeal of dedicated computers (in this case emulating/simulating one run on a desktop/laptop) can be more about playing strength that is not too overwhelming than about the physical pieces/board? |

As for me,my main regret was losing interest in dedicated computers for a few years and selling the ones I had,exclusive rebel,munchen Amsterdam,munchen Roma,Mach 4,Berlin,Berlin Pro(ouch)saw one on the web for sale in the U.S for$1600,Novag Super Expert,Mondial Dallas,but I'm lucky enough to have a Revelation 11,an R30 and a genius pro and intend to add the exclusive genius soon,but I'll just hold fire to see if this Munchen genius pro comes out any time soon.
Regards Steve C. |

Not at all. I still play dedicated, BUT also this old stuff running in D-Fend.
Versatile, ecumenic regards

Oh, I got it. First impression: weaker than 2.03

Thank you, I already got it. Weak, I believe. Not a hint about how to develop pieces. Putting the queen in e7 in front of the bishop, etc. It is clearly an incomplete piece of programming.

Well, not that weak, but looks like it has an opening book where really bad lines were inserted perhaps to give a chance to beginners.
Once in the game with a decent opening, it plays a relatively strong game. It is prone to put traps and ambushes. My guess running in fast comps: 1800-1900 elo
