'''Chiron''',<br/>
=Acknowledgment=
by [[Ubaldo Andrea Farina]], 2011 <ref>[http://www.chironchess.com/index.php/about .:: Chiron Chess Engine ::.: | About]</ref> <ref>Thank you! ([[Gerd Isenberg]], April 22, 2012) My own contribution to [[Magic Bitboards]] was the line-wise forerunner, dubbed [[Kindergarten Bitboards]], also tried with "random" factors, while [[Lasse Hansen]] had the idea to hash both lines simultaneously. I was initially skeptical whether the huge tables pay off.</ref>
In these nine years Chiron has improved a lot thanks also to ideas found in strong [[:Category:Open Source||open source engines]], in [[Computer Chess Forums|computer chess forums]] and websites, etc. In particular I would like to thank [[Fabien Letouzey]], [[Tord Romstad]], [[Robert Hyatt]], the [[Ippolit]] guys, [[Ed Schroder|Ed Schröder]], [[Bruce Moreland]], [[Ernst A. Heinz|Ernst Heinz]] and many others. Thanks to [[Miguel A. Ballicora|Miguel Ballicora]], [[Eugene Nalimov]] and [[Daniel Shawul]] for the probing code of their [[Endgame Tablebases|tablebases]]/[[Endgame Bitbases|bitbases]], to [[Pradu Kannan]], [[Gerd Isenberg]] and [[Lasse Hansen]] for the [[Magic Bitboards|magic bitboards]], to [[Steinar H. Gunderson|Sesse]] and [[Stephan Vermeire]] for the [[CTG|CTG specifications]], to [[Ilari Pihlajisto]] for [[Cutechess-cli|cutechess-cli]] that I've been using since 2009 for testing Chiron with very fast games. Thanks to all the people that tested Chiron in the past, among them [[Ciro Luigi Vignotto|Ciro Vignotto]], [[Leo Dijksman]], [[Olivier Deville]], [[Günther Simon]], [[Lars Hallerström]], the testers of [[CEGT]] and [[CCRL]] and many others.
