PuppetMaster

Home * Engines * PuppetMaster

PuppetMaster,
an experimental chess playing entity by Folkert van Heusden which implements a multiple-brain concept using an UDOO computer running Folkert's engine DeepBrutePos in a so called "puppet master" mode, requesting best moves from external UCI or XBoard engines each running on one of seven Raspberry Pi nodes connected via TCP sockets [1] . The most chosen move is played, while DeepBrutePos keeps track how often a move of each engine was selected. In case of a tie, moves of engines with higher selection rate are preferred [2] .
