Dolphin, a WinBoard compliant open source chess program under the terms of the GNU General Public License by Nguyen Viet Huy, written in 2009 in C#. Dolphin comes with an own graphical user interface. It uses a 0x88 array and piece lists to represent the board. The search is PVS alpha-beta with transposition table and adaptive nullmove pruning inside an iterative deepening framework. Killer- and history heuristic as well as static exchange evaluation are used to order moves. Evaluation covers material, mobility, various pawn structure features, and king safety through square control. Dolphin played the IOCSC 2010, and the DOCCC 2010 operated by Tessa Pijl.
