Version 4.0: Your Chess Openings
|
Welcome to GambitVB
|
| |
This site van Willem Rens offers you all about the computer program GambitVB
Chess, which is available as
your chess sparring-partner. You have to download and install the program on a
Windows computer. Playing the chess game is easy to learn and the program records your games, so
that you can analyze the moves and if you wish, restart the game from any point,
during a game or afterwards.
If you know something about computer programming, you can also download the code
and the documentation, if you are interested.
Everything on this site is free for usage and redistribution, assuming you
always attach the name of this site or my name. You do not have to
register or to supply your email address.
You can explore this site by using the menu bar above, explained below.

| Performance |
Hover over menu-item Performance and you will see two options: Played Game
and 32 versus 64 bits.
Option Played Game is a game list with some figures about GambitVB
performance counters, numbers such as the number of moves it generates per
second. I find those numbers interesting, and may be you do.
Option 32 versus 64 bits goes deeper about performance parameters,
comparing a 32-bits computer with a 64-bits computer.
