Flux Engine

Introduction

Flux Chess is an attempt to write a computer chess engine entirely in Java. The speed of most Java Virtual Machines is improving nowadays. However compared to other C/C++ chess engines Flux is still slow (or maybe my algorithms are not that sophisticated?).

As a pure UCI chess engine, Flux does not have a graphical user interface. You can load him however into your favorite chess program if it supports the UCI protocol. I suggest you take a look at the free chess program Arena. I’m personally testing Flux with the Shredder Classic chess program.

If you find any bugs or just want to write a comment, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Features

Below you will find a small list of what I have already implemented in Flux. Nothing special though as many computer chess engines have those features as well.

In addition Flux supports multi pv output, which means Flux can show multiple best pv lines.
