I use to have Sjeng and played zh against it. I have to say it was the strongest of the zh engines. I think that I use to pull 3-4 out of 5 games but I was around 2500ish zh at the time. I wish this site had zh.

zh?

Yeah, I have no clue what zh is, either. Reading Crosshaven's profile, maybe it's something on the FICS server?

PossibleOatmeal

zh is the FICS abbreviation for crazyhouse, a chess variant where you can place the pieces you've captured on the board, converted to your color (for instance, you capture a black knight, you can use a turn to place a white knight on any square).  If you know what bughouse is, think of it as single-board/two-player bughouse.

Thanks PO, that clears that up. Smile

Basically it is 2 player bughouse.
