Ryan Benitez, an American computer scientist, Correspondence Chess player and computer chess programmer. Ryan is author of the chess engine RTG with focus on Chess960 and Shuffle Chess, and developed the Fruit derivative Gambit Fruit based on the last open-source-version Fruit 2.1. In December 2005, he joined the Fruit team around Fabien Letouzey, helping in further developing the then commercial program. After Fabien's retirement in 2007, Ryan resumed the full rights of the non GPL Fruit 2.3+, while Fruit 2.1 is now owned by the Free Software Foundation. Further, Ryan contributed to Fabien's new engine Chess-64 and has changed Fruit into a bitboard engine with a parallel search.
