Capivara, an UCI compliant chess engine by Lourenço Araujo de Oliveira Junior, written in C++. Starting with TSCP , Lourenço changed and further implemented new methods in evaluation and search, and Tom's simple chess program evolved to a new chess engine which plays with a lot of courage, called Capivara. Capivara LK, with Tom Kerrigan mentioned as co-author, played the CCT13, Capivara the CCT15 with 3/6. Capivara's opening book is based on Harry Schnapp's HS-Classic Book.
