New free alternative Play Chess site: www.infinitychess.net

Postby Prima » 19 Nov 2011 00:44

There's a new site for computer chess games: Infinity Chess. A brief overview, from what I gather, about Infinity Chess:

It's Free,
No Serials,
No Sysop-harassment.

A viable alternative to Playchess site. Infinity Chess' GUI uses .inf format for native books. However, you can configure Aquarium Book Adapter to use your favorite or familiar .ctg book format.

For more information, here's Infinity Chess' home page: http://www.infinitychess.net/Web/Page/Default.aspx

To download Infinity Chess msi: http://infinitychess.net/Download/InfinityChess.msi

XsupremeX, I am ecstatic about Infinity Chess site. It still has few things to polish up. Still a great achievement.

It looks to be as more people become aware of this site AND are able to manufacture .inf books, it will become a popular & very busy traffic, comparable to PCC, if not more. Especially as its GUI and membership are free, from what I understand so far.

New site has come to play chess online using our engine and our books. It looks the same as Playchess.com plus it is free.

1st - You have to register here:

http://www.infinitychess.net/

2nd - Download the client program Infinity Chess GUI here:

http://infinitychess.net/Download/InfinityChess.msi

Install it and Run it. Here I bring some pictures you will like:

1. THE OPENING

3. THE ONLINE SERVER TO AUTOPLAY CHESS

4. THE AUTO PLAYERS TABLE

PS The games you play or observe in that site are all saved in ICD format but you can under "Tools" options convert them to PGN, then add the games in a ctg book and tune for improvements.

Maybe 12 cores / 24 threads?
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.

I had pressed it many times but it seems to do nothing.

I will try one more time.

Thanks,
