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. 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.
