Merlin (HU)

Home * Engines * Merlin (HU)



Merlin, a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compatible chess engine by Balázs Jákó. It is a "homebrew" brute-force search based program. Since version 2.0, Merlin applies TDLeaf(λ) to tune a set of evaluation weights, stored inside an separate file and updated after each game.

=Tournament Play= Merlin played various Hungarian Chessprogram Open tournaments, and won the MASPV 2004, MASPV 2007 and MASPV 2008, and was runner-up behind Pandix at MASPV 2009. Merlin courageously played the WCCC 2013 and WCSC 2013 in Yokohama, and had a hard time in that strong field.
