IV. Other programs playing crazyhouse chess

Sunsetter is originally based on DeepBug. Many thanks to Ben Dean-Kawamura for the code and friendly advice when I started with the project.
Unfortunately, the websites of DeepBug and Skyshark seem to have vanished.. in our memories, those programs will live on.

The program Sjeng has a much happier story to tell. Having started as crazyhouse playing program as well, it's author has now developed a completely new, very strong commercial chess program called Deep Sjeng. In fact, it is a better alternative to Fritz & Co. if you would like to get a multi-processor version at no extra cost, direct support from the author, a linux version .. . See here for more info on Deep Sjeng.

DeepBug
Skyshark
Sjeng : here you get the free variants versions.
