📕 Description [en]

📜️ "A libre and multi-platform strong chess game AI. Again a great gift to the FOSS community!" 📜️ .

Arasan is a chess program for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

By itself, it has no graphical interface, but can be used together with interface programs such as Winboard and xboard. Arasan also has its own native Windows GUI (not hosted on github).

For communicating with a chess interface, Arasan supports either the standard CECP protocol (version 2) or the UCI protocol. CECP is the native protocol used by Winboard and xboard. UCI-compatible chess interfaces include ChessBase and Fritz. Arena, a free interface, supports both protocols.

Arasan is multi-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Unix) and supports multi-threading for higher performance.

Arasan has both a native user interface (for Windows only) and a console-based chess engine for use with Winboard or xboard. Arasan also works with Arena, another free chess interface, and with UCI-compatible programs like Fritz and Chessbase.

Arasan includes an opening "book" with over 900,000 moves.

Since version 14.0, the Arasan chess engine has been licensed under the MIT License.


What does "Arasan" mean?
Arasan means "king" in Tamil, a language spoken in South India and Sri Lanka. It is related to the Sanskrit word "raja." The Arasan website header has "Arasan" written in Tamil script.

📕 Description [fr]

Un moteur libre de jeu d'échecs d'un excellent niveau, par Jon Dart (jdart1).
En C++.

Arasan est une IA libre et multi-plateforme pour le jeu d'échecs, très forte (puissance estimée à 3544 ELO pour la v.24.1 classée 20ème sur 3784 candidats au CCRL 40/15 - All engines - best versions only" du 13 avril 2024), elle dépasse largement les meilleurs joueurs humains (dont le niveau se situe aux alentours 2900 Elo). Elle communique avec les protocoles CECP ou UCI (les protocoles les plus courants sont CECP aka Winboard/Xboard, et UCI). Elle utilise la majorité des algorithmes de recherche actuels. Là aussi un superbe cadeau à la communauté du Libre !

Ressources et documentations disponibles : voir les fiches "Ressources - Echecs" et "Ressources - Echecs Orientaux".


Arasan est un programme d'échecs pour Windows, Linux et Mac OS.

En soi, il n'a pas d'interface graphique, mais peut être utilisé avec des programmes d'interface tels que Winboard et xboard. Arasan dispose également de sa propre interface graphique Windows native (non hébergée sur github).

Pour communiquer avec une interface d'échecs, Arasan supporte soit le protocole standard CECP (version 2), soit le protocole UCI. Le CECP est le protocole natif utilisé par Winboard et xboard. Les interfaces d'échecs compatibles avec l'UCI comprennent ChessBase et Fritz. Arena, une interface libre, supporte les deux protocoles.

Arasan est multi-plateforme (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Unix) et supporte le multi-threading pour de meilleures performances.

Arasan possède une interface utilisateur native (pour Windows uniquement) et un moteur d'échecs basé sur une console pour une utilisation avec Winboard ou xboard. Arasan fonctionne également avec Arena, une autre interface d'échecs gratuite, et avec des programmes compatibles UCI comme Fritz et Chessbase.

Arasan comprend un "livre" d'ouverture avec plus de 900 000 coups.

Depuis la version 14.0, le moteur d'échecs Arasan est sous licence MIT.

Que signifie "Arasan" ?
Arasan signifie "roi" en tamoul, une langue parlée dans le sud de l'Inde et au Sri Lanka. Il est lié au mot sanskrit "raja". L'en-tête du site web d'Arasan comporte le mot "Arasan" en caractères tamouls.
