Download Firebird 1.2

Firebird 1.2 is commented by many computer chess specialists as the new strongest chess engine in the world, even stronger than Rybka 3 & RobboLito.

It is a free & open-source UCI chess engine by: Kranium and Sentinel based on IppoLit chess engine by Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, Yusuf Ralf Weisskopf, Igor Igorovich Igoronov, Roberto Pescatore, Ivan Skavinsky Skavar and the "Decembrists".

Firebird is a UCI windows 'console' application, without any GUI (graphical user interface) that you may use with free programs like Winboard, Arena, Chess-gui or with Chessbase 9 & 10.

It is still not clear yet if Firebird is a clone of Rybka 3.

Hi Thibault, having those links here is a great idea, the only thing, some of them are not related with Firebird chess engine, but with Firebird SQL Client Server Database.  Anyway, I do not mind those links, I use that database at work

Indeed, I'll try to update this in a while to make it more coherent with the chess engine.

Are all updates/upgrades to Firebird announced as they occur, and are there any upgrades currently anticipated in the near future?

I think that Chesslogik is the real home of the Ippolit engines series, see their website for any recent news. I'll try to post the updates in this forum as soon as possible.

Ah..... I have no idea there sorry, did you search Google?  Or you may try to ask in the Talkchess forum, a very active computer chess forum (or directly to the authors?!).

You may create a UCI engine on Chessbase, if you use it... What is your chess program?
