Can anyone recommend a powerful chess engine (2700+ ELO) that is freely
available for download?

I'm using Arena 1.1 as my front end.

Thanks.

You probably want Fruit 2.1.
This is a very good engine that beats commercial engines like fritz 8 or
junior on many occasions and is second best to only shredder in many tests.

Hi,

All the UCI Engines freely available classified by force of play (more
than 96.000 games played):
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lefouduroi/tournois/uci/uel.htm

Click on the logo to arrive on the download site/page.

Here (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lefouduroi/bohscc.htm) also a very good
opening book for use with Arena.

Regards

Patrick

I have been running Fruit 2.x against Shredder for a week or so now. Fruit
is definitely stronger at all time controls. I believe Fruit is the
strongest engine out there. It's free and easy to install under Arena.

The strongest free engines are Fruit 2.1 and Toga II 1.0. Bothe are
available for free download from
http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/uci-engines.html.

If you have the ability to run DOS, REBEL 12 DOS, is a Monster, and plays
that level, and is free!!!

Hey, anybody else still have a link for "BRINGER" It was Windows, but still
very very tough as well, and free!!!

Hello,

You could try SOS, Fruit, Spike, Pharaon, Delfi

Of course if you always want the latest version of the opening book you
should download it here:
http://www.playwitharena.com/directory/mainbook/book-eng.htm

Kind regards,

Michael

Did you do the tests under arena? What opening book settings did you
use? As I understand Fruit has its own book, but Shredder relies on the
GUI to do the opening.

As you can see from the replies, there's many strong free engines.
Maybe you instead be concerned about their style, strength and weaknesses!?
