Home * Engines * Dragon (Chess Assistant)



Dragon, an analysis engine of Convekta's Chess Assistant, recently declared as Handicap engine. Not to confused with the original Dragon by Yuri Shpeer, CA's Dragon is based on Centaur by Victor Vikhrev and Alexey Manjakhin with some code units from Mirage by Vladimir Rybinkin and Yuri Shpeer incorporated. Like Mirage, Dragon applies possibly fractional ply increments while analyzing a position, for instance at reported depths of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 18 during iterative deepening. According to the All you ever wanted to know about Convekta site by Robert Pawlak, Dragon was the work of Alexey Manjakhin.
