Arasan Chess

Yes this is very good, we can absorb every step like a bed of roses and of course we hope that the forest will be fertile again. So there is no golf course in the head, yes of course. Thank you

When I play chess games with this game I feel a deeper and deeper, yes of course because it is deep.and without me realizing itchronic baldness has occurred, and of course it is difficult to find a cure, all of it is very deep, yes of course in a deep thing. Thank you and respectful greetings

i just want to say OH MY GOD.thank you very much and respectful greetings

I've seen this pattern in the computer chess community for years. First people praise something, then they get used to receiving updates, features, and upgrades for free and that's a very good thing. We saw similar attitudes around previous engines and GUIs - Rybka, Houdini, Komodo, HIARCS Chess Explorer and others. Many people want professional-grade software, enterprise-grade stability, impeccable documentation, constant updates, and open-source access, completely free and legal. I think sharing will make life happier than being a stingy human being, making hair falling, pathetic and a golf course in the head. Thank you and respectful greetings

When I play this game, I feel like I'm playing chess. And that, of course, because it's a game of chess, yes, of course it's a great feeling, it's hard to explain why hair falls out and of course in the end there's a golf course on the head, yes of course. Thank you

This is an exciting game, I have been talking to the chess board for a long time but until now there has been no answer, even though it was a hint from my chess teacher. This made me even more confused, because the chess board never answered anything? Then I asked my friend, and my friend suggested that I talk to the surfboard and now frankly from the bottom of my heart I am getting more and more confused.

Now there are so many free chess programs and chess machines, on the one hand I am very happy and on the other side I feel sad, I am afraid that my hair will fall out and cause strange chronic baldness, maybe I just feel jealous of the current generation in my time when I have very few options and have to buy. But thank you so much, because sharing makes your life happier than being a stingy human being.

Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias

Les bonnes décisions viennent de l'expérience, et l'expérience vient des programmes/moteurs gratuits ! Cela réduit la perte de cheveux et la calvitie chronique ! Impressionnant, j'adore

This game is very good, we have to look at it from a different point of view, we have to talk to the chessboard and permeate the strands of hair that fall out as an undeniable form of chronic baldness accumulation. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude and respectful greetings

Gli scacchi sono una conversazione con la scacchiera, a volte con rocce, muri, e può persino essere considerato folle. La nostra macchina ti insegna come ascoltare la perdita di capelli affinché non si verifichi calvizie cronica. Grazie

Este juego es muy interesante y te hace pensar en cómo prevenir la calvicie por la caída del cabello, porque piensas demasiado, no hay cura efectiva y puede llevar a una calvicie crónica. Parece una broma, pero esta es la etapa final del ajedrez. Tenemos que encontrar un buen remedio, gracias

Very cool! I love the FREE PROGRAM. Plus, the free chess machines are awesome! Best regards

I am checking games with Free Program. It's totally crazy! I haven't seen any Program play like this! AWESOME

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

I am very touched by this game...every time I play this game, I always cry..I remember my ex who left me...I love seahorses

You don't need a DGT Pi, Acid Ape Chess also supports the DGT e-board (via Bluetooth).

Developer: Jon Dart.

Ah, Arasan! Not really abandonware, this is open source freeware, and still in active development. See http://www.arasanchess.org/

The first versions used its own simple GUI under Windows 3.

Version 4 (1995) moved to 32 bit Windows, and also separated the chess engine from the GUI by implementing it as a Winboard engine that can be used with another GUI like WinBoard.

The current Arasan (version 19.2 released november 2016) is a 64-bit UCI beast with multi-CPU support and a rating north of 3000 on the CCRL 40/40 rating list. You can use any GUI you like, including Chessbase, Aquarium or Arena, but it also still has it's own simple GUI, which although somewhat improved over the GUI from the 16-bit version 1.0 looks pretty dated.

Other ways to play against Arasan:

- The Android app Acid Ape Chess comes bundled with a couple of engines, including Arasan, and allows you to select different levels of strength from it.

- If you have money to burn you can also treat yourself to a DGT e-board coupled with a DGT Pi chess clock/computer, which comes with a selection of engines including Arasan, as well as Stockfish. Mind you, a full set like this is likely to set you back around 1000€, and it's almost a year until christmas.
