A downloadable game

Think you can beat ADOCE? My homemade chess engine is waiting for you.

A chess application built in Godot 4 with a C++ engine via GDExtensions. Play against ADOCE (or any UCI-compatible engine), set a time control with increment (e.g. 3|2 = 3 min + 2 sec/move), choose your color, and go.

Features:

  • Configurable time controls with increment
  • Play as white, black, or random
  • Supports any UCI-compatible engine (configurable in settings)
  • Move history navigation
  • Custom starting position via FEN
  • Subtle sound effects

Source code & full documentation:

The GitHub repo contains the full source code and more detailed instructions on how to use the app.

Install instructions

Download & Install

  1. Download the .zip and extract it anywhere you like.
  2. Run the .exe — if Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" warning, click More info → Run anyway. This happens because the app isn't signed, not because it's harmful.
  3. That's it. No installation needed.

Engines included (predownloaded_engines/ folder):

The zip comes with 6 engines ready to use: 4 well-known UCI engines plus ADOCE (my own) and Sebastian's Lague Chess Engine v1. To switch engines, go to Settings → UCI engine path and point it to any .exe inside that folder.

The .dll file must stay in the same folder as the executable or the app won't launch.
