He ported TSCP to C# and Pascal using Delphi 7, which gradually evolved into his own engine, Delphil.

=Quotes= Philippe Fabiani summarized his ups and downs in chess programming with a quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky : But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.
