Six

Six is a free Hex playing program running on Unix written by Gábor Melis. The currently offered version is 0.5.3. It has won ICGA Hex tournament in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Six is quite good against human beings too.

Six has been adapted to Windows by ab. The project came out in a thread in Little Golem forum. It is now freely available on Windows too. Ab separated the GUI from six engine, thus creating HexGui, inspired by GoGui.
