Engines that play "human-like" chess?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.chess.computer (More info?)

Hi,

I seem to recall that last year there was an engine that was greatly
hyped, which claimed it played a very human-like (though not extremely
strong) game.

Does anybody recall the name of the engine, or where it can be found?
Also, does it work with the fritz interface, or some other?

Thanks,
Quad

Thanks, I will try the engine out.

Are there any other engines which play a very human-like game? I am not
interested in having a very strong elo, just a fun and challenging game.

You might be thinking of Chess System Tal from years ago. Google it, but
here's one link:

Delfi is another you might be interested in.

http://www.msbsoftware.it/delfi/

"Delfi is a Winboard chess engine, designed to emulate the human chess
play. Delfi was written to achieve a good positional play (example: it
cares about good and bad bishops) but currently it's much stronger at
tactics."
