'''Delphil''',
an [[UCI]] compliant chess engine by [[Philippe Fabiani]], written in [[Pascal]] using [[Delphi|Delphi 7]] <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_(software)#Early_Borland_years_(1995%E2%80%932003) Delphi - Early Borland Years (1995-2004) - Wikipedia]</ref>,
first released in April 2004. Delphil started its life as Delphi port of [[Tom Kerrigan|Tom Kerrigan's]] [[TSCP]],
and in 2009, Delphil still owned about 80% of TSCP's code base with [[Move Generation|move generation]] and [[Search|search]] almost identical.
Most changes were done in [[Evaluation|evaluation]], further a [[Transposition Table|tranposition table]], various [[Extensions|extensions]] and [[Null Move Pruning|null move pruning]] were added

Delphil 3.2, released on September 28, 2014, applies a [[Parallel Search|parallel search]] with up to 32 processors simultaneously, and is able to probe [[Nalimov Tablebases]] <ref>[http://delphil.nexgate.ch/English/ Delphil - home]</ref> .
