Chess Genius 2 won the manufacturers and Absolute World Microcomputer Chess Champion titles at the WMCCC 1993 running on the PC based Mephisto Wundermaschine, and was also shipped as Mephisto Genius 68030 module for Mephisto module systems.

Windows

Chess Genius Classic 7.1 for Windows [3]

Chess Genius 4 in 1995 became a 16-bit Windows program [4] with a GUI developed by Adrian Millett [5] written in C [6], which further evolved to a multi-engine GUI via Chess Genius 6 (6.5) to the Millennium Chess System [7], and the Chess Genius Classic GUI [8]. Chess Genius was further ported to various PDA and mobile platforms, such as Palm and Apple's iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes Store [9] , as well as Android. In November 2015, Chess Genius, ported to the ARM Cortex-M processor, was released as dedicated Millennium ChessGenius.

Intel Grand Prix

In 1994, during the Intel Grand Prix Cycle [10] in London, Chess Genius 3, operated by Ossi Weiner, won a speed chess game (25-minutes per side) versus Garry Kasparov [11] and drew the second game, knocking Kasparov out of the tournament. This was the first match that Kasparov ever lost to a computer. In the next round, Genius then beat Predrag Nikolić, but then lost to Viswanathan Anand [12] [13] [14] [15] .
