Zap!ChessZap!Chess is now available!BCM price £37.99Zap!Chess
Zap!Chess is the commercial version of Zappa, the 2005 World Computer Chess Champion. The CD-ROM contains two versions: Paderborn and Reykjavik.
Zap!Chess contains one of the best parallel implementations in the world to run efficiently on multiple CPU systems, and it also uses 64-bit machines to their full potential. But don't despair if you own a smaller system, both versions come with an implementation of Singular Extensions, the famous Deep Blue search algorithm. They are disabled by default, but they increase the tactical strength of the program at the cost of positional strength.
About the author: Zap!Chess programmer Anthony Cozzie (MS ECE, CMU 2003) is currently a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He divides his time between cutting edge research, computer chess, basketball, and shepherding his hapless flock of undergraduates through basic computer science.
