'''Chronos''',<br/>
a [[WinBoard]] compatible chess engine developed by [[Guillermo Filia]], written in [[C]] or [[Cpp|C++]] <ref>[http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=50192 Engines written in which programming language?] by [[Andreas Herrmann]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Winboard Forum]], June 01, 2009</ref>.
The project started in 2008 based on Guillermo Filia's earlier chess engine named '''GFC''', and initially incorporated [[NagaSkaki|NagaSkaki's]] [[Shifted Bitboards]] approach to generated [[Sliding Piece Attacks|sliding piece attacks]] <ref>[https://mayothi.com/nagaskakichess6.html How NagaSkaki plays chess - Move generation]</ref>,
later replaced by [[Rotated Bitboards]] following [[Robert Hyatt|Robert Hyatt's]] tutorial <ref> [http://www.craftychess.com/hyatt/bitmaps.html Rotated bitmaps, a new twist on an old idea] by [[Robert Hyatt]]</ref> <ref name="History"/>.
