Chess engine: BLANK 1.3.0 (java)


BLANK is a UCI (java) chess engine. Author: Ryan Lau
This engine was written from scratch based off Object-Oriented design using Java. The basic UCI (Universal Chess Interface) protocol has been implemented for communication with UCI-compatible GUIs. It also has an in-built GUI to directly interact with the engine.

To install BLANK Chess as a UCI engine on Arena Chess GUI:
From the Arena GUI MenuBar, Select Engines > Install New Engine
Select .jar file type and navigate to location of the saved binary file.
Select the binary file and choose UCI protocol.
Go to the MenuBar, Select Engines > Manage... > Details and Select BLANK Chess Engine
Under General, Click on the Type drop-down list > select UCI. Apply changes.
Enjoy the engine!
