Bestia, a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant chess engine by George Lyapko, written in Pascal and compiled with Delphi, first released in July 2000 , with executables to run under Windows, and more recently, to x86-64 Mac OS. Beside the transposition table, Bestia features a pawn hash table, and is able to learn from its failures. Bestia participated at three Hungarian Chessprogram Open, and won two times operated by Gábor Szõts, the MASPV 2001 and the MASPV 2003, both with a 100% score.
