Frank Quisinsky, a German computer chess aficionado, journalist and early WinBoard promoter. Along with Volker Pittlik, Frank founded the Winboard Forum in 1999, and hosts his own computer chess site Frank's Chess Page with a temporary break in 2007, and maintains his own FCT rating list since 2014. He contributed to the computer chess column of the German chess magazine Schachwelt with interviews and program reports. Notably, Frank was initiator of the Arena Chess GUI development realized by Martin Blume. In 2004, he established the Gladiator-Shop as an attempt to commercialize engines such as Ruffian, Patriot and Ktulu bundled with Arena, to provide a small income for their developers and to support further development. The project was abandoned after suspicions that the new Patriot 2.0 was based on Fruit became substantial in May 2005. By August 2005, Frank Quisinsky went out of the Arena project.
