a French chess player and avocational computer chess programmer.
After learning chess at age seven, his computer chess interest arouse when he owned his own first dedicated chess computer, a Chessmaster Radiophon,
and later more advanced chess computers as well as playing chess programs on a 486 PC.

He ported TSCP to C# [1] and Pascal using Delphi 7,
which gradually evolved into his own engine, Delphil [2].
Quotes
Philippe Fabiani summarized his ups and downs in chess programming with a quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky [3] [4]:
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.
