Tiffanys by Bernhard von Gunten
-------------------------------

Tiffanys is a chess engine with XBoard interface written in Java. Tiffanys is still in early stage !

Current Features:

- XBoard interface
- Knows all basic rules (including Castling, EnPassant and Pawnpromotion)
- More or less NO object oriented design for better performance (>300'000 Positions checked/sec on my 2.5 Ghz          
  machine.
- Only plays as black


Installation & starting:

Just unpack the tiffanys-0.2.tar.gz and start the XBoard client with 

  xboard -debug -fcp  "java -jar tiffanys.jar"

or use one of the provided start scripts.

Configuration:

Tiffanys creates a configuration file named ".Tiffanys.properties" in the home directory. Currently it only saves the standard XBoard connection properties for linux. Patch it if you dare :-)
