'''List''',<br/>
a chess engine written by [[Fritz Reul]] in [[C]]. The development started in 2000, and List was first released as [[WinBoard]] engine '''4.60''' in May 2002 <ref>[http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/details1/List.html List] from [[WBEC|WBEC Ridderkerk]]</ref>, and as free native [[ChessBase]] engine '''5.04''' for the [[Fritz#FritzGUI|Fritz GUI]] in December 2002 <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=269741 List 5.04 Native-Engine available for free !!!] by CLiebert, [[CCC]], December 09, 2002</ref> .

=Description=
List '''4.6x''' is a 32-bit engine operating on [[Mailbox|10x8 boards]]. It uses a [[recursion|recursive]] [[Fail-Soft|fail-soft]] [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta search]] with [[Transposition Table|transposition table]] and [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]] inside an [[Iterative Deepening|iterative deepening]] frame with [[Aspiration Windows|aspiration]], and performs [[Extensions#FractionalExtensions|fractional extensions]], [[Depth|depth]] dependent [[Razoring|razoring]] and [[Null Move|null move search]] with [[Fail-High Reductions|fail-high reductions]], and [[Internal Iterative Deepening|IDD]] <ref>Part of the readme, from [http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/details1/List.html List] from [[WBEC|WBEC Ridderkerk]]</ref> . [[Dann Corbit]], who had seen some bit of List's [[C]] source code in 2002, on the origin of List's name <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=270338 Re: List is crafty (with a small c)] by [[Dann Corbit]], [[CCC]], December 12, 2002</ref> :
The program uses many [[Piece-Lists|piece-lists]] internally, which is where the name comes from, I think. I have seen the [[Evaluation function|evaluation function]], which uses separate lists for each piece type.

=WCCC 2003=
List participated at the [[WCCC 2003]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graz Graz], not represented by its author himself, but by [[Erdogan Günes]]. Fritz Reul, being circumvented with examination commitments, did not act appropriate to prove his program was not a clone, as accused due to an official protest during the tournament. As a consequence, List was disqualified after eight of eleven rounds <ref>[https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/tournament.php?id=2 11th World Computer Chess Championship] from the [https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/ ICGA Tournament site]</ref> <ref>[http://www.chessbase.com/Home/TabId/211/PostId/4001330/icga-disqualifies-chess-program-list-.aspx ICGA disqualifies chess program 'List'], [[ChessBase|ChessBase News]], November 27, 2003</ref>. In 2005, Fritz Reul was rehabilitated by the [[ICGA]], after List's source code was inspected by an [[Chrilly Donninger|expert]] approved by the ICGA <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=416428 Re: Chessbase must be confident that List is not a clone...] by [[Frank Schneider]], [[CCC]], March 11, 2005</ref>, who stated List was definitely not a clone of any other program, and that it contains some new ideas in chess programming <ref>[[Fritz Reul]] ('''2005'''). ''A Letter to the ICGA''. [[ICGA Journal]], [http://ilk.uvt.nl/icga/journal/pdf/toc28-1.pdf Vol. 28, No. 1] (pdf)</ref> <ref>[[David Levy]] ('''2005'''). ''Cancellation of Suspension''. [[ICGA Journal]], [http://ilk.uvt.nl/icga/journal/pdf/toc28-1.pdf Vol. 28, No. 1] (pdf)</ref>.

=List 5.12=
In January 2004, List '''5.12''' was released as free [[UCI]] engine along with [[Aristarch]] by [[Stefan Zipproth]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=345007 List 512 UCI und Aristarch 4.37 ready for Download :-) !!!] by Andreas Aicher, [[CCC]], January 26, 2004</ref>. Able to play [[Chess960]], List further played the [[Chess960CWC 2005]].

=Loop List=
In October 2005, Fritz Reul's new 32-bit engine dubbed '''Loop List''' was released commercially as [[UCI]] engine <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=455043 Re: Loop List commercially available soon] by [[Günther Simon]], [[CCC]], October 11, 2005</ref> . List and Loop List further evolved to the 32-bit [[Loop (Program)|Loop]] engine as described in chapter 2 ''Non-Bitboard Architectures'' of Fritz Reul's Ph.D. thesis ''New Architectures in Computer Chess'' <ref>[[Fritz Reul]] ('''2009'''). ''New Architectures in Computer Chess''. Ph.D. Thesis, [http://www.personeel.unimaas.nl/uiterwijk/Theses/PhD/Reul_thesis.pdf pdf]</ref>.
