Chess engine: Eubos 1.1.6

on

Eubos - a basic Java chess engine, written for kicks. Uses jcpi for the UCI protocol parts. Kind of weak, doesn't evaluate for king safety, for example. Now uses transpostion hashing, but because it runs in the Java VM on a bog standard PC, doesn't search very deeply (around 100K Nodes/s, though this is actually quite hard to evaluate due to the hashing). 
Rating JCER=2385

You must have installed Java version 8 on the PC to use Eubos (get it from java.com)
To install Eubos as an engine in Arena:
1. Select Engines > Install New Engine
2. In the file browser dialog that appears, change the drop down to *.bat
3. Navigate to the Eubos binary location, select the Eubos.bat
4. Select UCI protocol to communicate with Eubos
5. That's it!
