'''Frank Quisinsky''',
a German computer chess aficionado, journalist and early [[WinBoard]] promoter. Along with [[Volker Pittlik]], Frank founded the [[Computer Chess Forums|Winboard Forum]] in 1999 <ref>[http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30267 Thanks] by [[Đorđe Vidanović]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Winboard Forum]], August 28, 1999</ref>, and hosts his own computer chess site''Frank's Chess Page'' <ref>[http://www.amateurschach.de/ Frank's Chess Page]</ref> with a temporary break in 2007, and maintains his own [[FCT]] [[Engine Rating Lists|rating list]] since 2014 <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52292 First FCT1 rating list now available ...] by [[Frank Quisinsky]], [[CCC]], May 12, 2014</ref>. He contributed to the computer chess column of the German chess magazine ''Schachwelt'' <ref>[http://www.schach-welt.de/index.php Schachwelt-Blog - Schachwelt - der Blog für Schachspieler] (German)</ref> with interviews and program reports. Notably, Frank was initiator of the [[Arena]] Chess GUI development realized by [[Martin Blume]] <ref>[http://www.playwitharena.com/ Arena 3.0 Chess GUI]</ref>. In 2004, he established the Gladiator-Shop as an attempt to commercialize engines such as [[Ruffian]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=348116 Ruffian 2.1.0 ...] by [[Frank Quisinsky]], [[CCC]], February 09, 2004</ref>, [[Patriot]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=356900 After Ruffian now the second project clear for take off (Patriot) ...] by [[Frank Quisinsky]], [[CCC]], March 27, 2004</ref> and [[Ktulu]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=362816 Ktulu 5.0 by Rahman Paidar (Iran) available in Gladiator-Shop tomorrow!] by [[Frank Quisinsky]], [[CCC]], May 01, 2004</ref> 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 <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=424288 Patriot 2.0 Revealed as a Clone!] by Nog, [[CCC]], May 04, 2005</ref> <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=425107 Re: Sorry Vladimir but this is what I see...] by [[Christopher Conkie]], [[CCC]], May 09, 2005</ref>. By August 2005, Frank Quisinsky went out of the Arena project.
