Home * Engines * Nero



Nero, a chess program developed by Jari Huikari, written in Pascal and x86 inline assembly. Initially a DOS program first released in 1998, it later evolved to a WinBoard compatible engine. Nero performs alpha-beta inside an iterative deepening framework without a transposition table and a "real" quiescence search. Nero wb 5.1 is available as source code, Jari Huikari's old site archived by the Wayback Machine.
