Richard Vida, a Slovakian software developer, consultant, computer chess programmer and author of the strong UCI compatible chess engine Critter, first written in Object Pascal compiled with Delphi and in 2009 ported to C. In January 2013, Richard released a compressed binary of a single threaded engine dubbed Robodini, compiled from sources from his re-engineering attempts of Houdini 3 - to win a bet to prove that he could do it within a few weeks and the Robbolito code-base available.
