This old engine is known to have a time management bug : it often loses on time at move 40 with black pieces when 40/x time control is used.

I recently found a compile by Dann Corbit at Guenther's place and tried it. Unfortunately the bug is still there

Dann, Jim, or anybody else willing to spend some effort on this oldie would be welcome !

PS : I don't know whether the source code is still available on the internet.

Hi Olivier,

I recently saved Jester and had its link on the archive.org site handy.

This is the URL and the source code download link on the page works.

Thanks Charles !

Now let's see what our master compilers can do about it

Looks like Jim Ablett helped you out Olivier, if you get a chance tell how it does for you.

Here's an older Jester page, same version, not as stylish as the other page but has more information on it.

Yeah, I have tested Jim's bugfixed Jester, and losses on time seem to be gone Master Jim did it again
