Thiruvananthapuram, Feb.12:

Technopark-based Schogini Systems has entered the artificial intelligence gaming industry to create iPhone and iPad chess games.

For this, the company has been working with world chess champions and grand masters, a spokesman said here.

KOMODO ENGINE

Schogini has partnered with two of the leading Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based chess engine creators Mr Don Dailey and veteran Grandmaster Larry Kaufman.

The partnership has brought out the deep-thinking intelligence of chess engine Komodo 4 to the mobile and Facebook platforms. Komodo 4 is currently rated as one the top two chess engines.

This will unleash the playing power of grandmasters to the social media for the benefit of active chess enthusiasts and players as well as budding ones.

Schogini has also joined hands with a chess-like but easier-to-learn game called Khet 2.0.

KHET GAME

This is a laser beam-powered physical game for which Schogini Systems partnered with inventor Mr Luke Hooper of Innovention Toys of the US to provide the Khet game on the mobile and Facebook platforms.

Khet's boxed physical game will be made available across toy shops in India through Schogini's auspices, the spokesman said.

Schogini has also collaborated with Mr Don Dailey to build the Khet AI Engine to power the mobile and Facebook versions of the Khet App.

EMERGENCY APP

Schogini has plans to build products that can nurture the learning and thinking abilities of kids on all platforms in the coming months.

Recently, the British Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron, had feted a Schogini employee for developing an emergency app on Android which had earlier won the ‘Best App' award at ‘Silicon Valley Comes to the UK Appathon,' 2011.

Mr N. Sreeprakash is the founder and the managing director of Schogini
