Software Requirements

Windows Operating System - Windows 10,11 compatible.

Intel i3 processor minimum. Intel i5 or better preferred. Higher NLP performance will be attained with a VPU.​​

Something about Abby: Abby can access up to 10 Million facts and figures from her knowledge base. How many SME files do you have?

Software Installation: Download the file 'Abby - Release 107.0'. This is the most recent version of the program. It consists of a single file called 'Installer.exe. Double Click to install the software.

Once installed, double click the Abby shortcut on the desktop to run.

When the software has loaded Abby will ask you for the Installation code to continue.

Abby's software comes with 150 SME files which provide access to 150,000 General Knowledge facts. Further SME files can be purchased and added to the SME directory.​

Release 30.9 is a much earlier release of the software. It has many limitations but doesn't require an Installation code to run.

Not needed for Release 107.0

To make moves, Abby uses SAN, or Standard Algebraic Notation. It is the official method used to record and describe the moves in chess. It's designed to be both compact and precise, allowing players to quickly and clearly play games without ambiguity.

​

In chess notation, each piece is denoted by an uppercase letter except for pawns, which are not denoted by any letter. Here’s a quick rundown on how to read and write chess moves in this notation:

  1. Pieces: Each chess piece is represented by an initial:

    • K for King

    • Q for Queen

    • R for Rook

    • B for Bishop

    • N for Knight

    • Pawns are not represented by a letter, so if you see a move like "e4" or "d5", it means a pawn moved to that square.

  2. Square Names: Each square on the chessboard is identified by a unique combination of a letter and a number. The letter represents the column (from 'a' to 'h') and the number represents the row (from '1' to '8').

  3. Making Moves:

    • To indicate a move, write the letter of the piece followed by the square to which it is moving. For example, "Qf3" means the Queen moves to the f3 square. It is important that the piece, in this case the Queen is represented as an uppercase character, otherwise Abby will discard the move.

    • To move a pawn, just enter the square it moves to, like "e4".

    • For capturing moves, an "x" is sometimes used to denote a capture. For example, "Qxf3" means the Queen captures whatever piece is on f3.

  4. Special Moves:

    • Castling: This move is denoted as "O-O" for kingside castling and "O-O-O" for queenside castling.

    • Pawn Promotion: When a pawn reaches the eighth rank, it is promoted. You will be asked what piece you would like the pawn to be promoted to. Normally it would be the Queen, as it is the most powerful piece, however there are reasons for not doing this. Abby lets you choose!
