Eire 1.0, 31-07-2004 (ELO ~ 1400) eire.zip
DanaSah originally was called Eire, Eire is the name of a pub where I live, the program was thought to play a tournament in this pub against other players. The program is weak, it doesn't recognize the rule of draw by repetition (very bad endgame). The evaluation is material and pieces-squares tables. It works in Arena.

- LMR and razoring are more aggressive, we have a new function that allows us to cut the quiesce and better order.
