Welcome,
the design-team of Pirat would
like to welcome you and hope
that you will enjoy browsing through our homepage.
As an all-in-one chess-software, Pirat offers apart from
other very interesting features::
-
Six print modules, including print preview (diagram,
game,
letter,
postcard, address,
database)
-
An administration-tool for correspondence tournaments and
email/fax tournaments
-
An email-tool (PiratChessMail) for receiving and sending emails over the SMTP/POP3 -
interface. (Special feature: sending at predefined time) Starting with GUI
1.1.0 IMAP-Server like AOL are supported.
-
A database and a tournament administration tool which fully
supports the international PGN format (for small databases). Futhermore it
uses the proprietary PIR format for large databases.
-
Access to the Nalimov Endspieldatenbanken including an
TB-generator.
-
Manipulatation of the analysis by
elimating
moves/variation from the analysis. Starting with GUI 1.0.2 it is possible
to disable the analysis of moves by UCI-engines, assuming this feature is
supported by the engine.
-
Support of the UCI standard enables games under the
Pirat-GUI against other
UCI-engines like Ruffian or Shredder, as well as Winboard Engines such as Crafty
via UCI adapter.
-
UCI tournaments: Let UCI Engines (Winboard Engines over
the UCI adapter) play against each other run or against Pirat. A statistic
tool helps to identify weaknesses of Engines.
ELO-calculation is possible too.
Starting with GUI 1.0.2 Pirat supports Crosstable-tournaments.
-
Support of the Autoplayer-protocolls allows games against
other chess-programs on second hardware platform.
-
An own strong engine
Last correspondence chess successes of the chess programmers:
Jürgen Wolf won against the former correspondence chess world
champion Fritz Baumbach (SC Friesen Lichtenberg 1) in the season 99-01.

the highest correspondence league for teams.
Both chess programmers are active members of the wellknown correspondence
chessclub Schachunion München/SC Pasing.
