Hermann Heights Monument [1]

Hermann,
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol and UCI compliant chess engine by Volker Annuss, able to play Chess960. Hermann is Arena partner engine, participating the Chess960CWC 2005, Chess960CWC 2006, CPT 2009, CPT 2010 and various Dutch Open Computer Chess Championships and International CSVN Tournaments, third place at ICT 2009.

Hermann uses bitboards as basic data structure, determines sliding piece attacks with fixed shift magic bitboards [2], and applies neural networks for material evaluation and timing [3] [4] [5]. In 2011, Volker Annuss confirmed his soft spot for his engine names associated with the legacy of romantic German nationalism by calling Hermann's completely restructured successor with its Latinised name Arminius [6]. In Germany, Arminius was rechristened Hermann (Heer Mann - army man) by Martin Luther, and he became an emblem of the revival of German nationalism fueled by the Napoleon wars in the 19th century [7].
