Hello,

several players will have realized already that

a new type of EinStein player has come to LG:

fraggle_c is a computer program, designed and

operated by Ingo Schwab (alias “Ingo S”).

Three comments in this context:

(i) fraggle_c is currently one of the strongest

programs for EinStein.

(ii) Computers are NOT unbeatable in EinStein.

Probably the best computer program is

“MeinStein”, written by Theo van der Storm.

MeinStein is almost as strong as the best human

player (LuiseR). On inetplay MeinStein lost a

legendary 161-game match with Luiser narrowly by

77-84.

(iii) You can downolad a free strong EinStein program,

“Hanfried” written by Dr. Jorg Sameith from Jena

University. Find the download site by using google

with

einstein hanfried

(This download version is good for training games,

but it can not help you to analyse game positions.)

One from our Golem family just told me that he was

unable to connect to Hanfried download.

I forgot that just in these days the computer center

at our Faculty (math and comp. science) at Jena

University makes internal restructering. So,

you have to wait a few days.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
