Open source draughts engines
The major draughts engines, such as Scan, Kingsrow, Damage, Dragon, et cetera, all seem to be closed source. Are there any open source draughts engines out there?

Re: Open source draughts engines
Thanks, I found the source code for the engines in Rein Halbersma's github page: https://github.com/rhalbersma?tab=repositoriesFabien Letouzey wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 07:21Scan and Moby Dam are open source:Madeleine Birchfield wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 19:04The major draughts engines, such as Scan, Kingsrow, Damage, Dragon, et cetera, all seem to be closed source.

Re: Open source draughts engines
I have mirrored several other open source engines on GitHub. Mainly because I find it convenient to be able to browse the source code on almost any device, instead of having to download and open .zip files. I would like to encourage the authors to start their own GitHub repositories. E.g. in one instance I got a pull request for Scan which I am not in a position to accept really (I have no intention of forking).Madeleine Birchfield wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 16:50Thanks, I found the source code for the engines in Rein Halbersma's github page: https://github.com/rhalbersma?tab=repositoriesFabien Letouzey wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 07:21Scan and Moby Dam are open source:Madeleine Birchfield wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 19:04The major draughts engines, such as Scan, Kingsrow, Damage, Dragon, et cetera, all seem to be closed source.
