Fifth day [1]

Genesis,
a PC chess program by Eric van Riet Paap written in C and x86 Assembly to ran under MS-DOS. It had a program size of 60 KiB, was searching selectively with an "unlimited" quiescence search, and archived about 11.500 nodes per second on a 486 @ 50Mhz, one of the fast searchers in the early 90s [2]. Genesis participated at the 4th Computer Olympiad 1992 in London and won the gold medal, tied with The King and HIARCS 6.72, and further played the DOCCC 1992 and co-authored by Huib-Jan Imbens as Genesis 2 the DOCCC 1993, where it also played as a parallel incarnation under the name Petunia, running on a 486 PC controlling three Intel i860 processors [3].
