Psycho,
a chess program by Ian Kennedy, which played the UPCCC 1993 [2] and UPCCC 1994 Uniform-Platform Computer Chess Championship organized by Don Beal. An early prototype of Psycho applied floating point arithmetic, and as reported by Ian Kennedy speed up by a factor of 10 after conversion to an integer evaluation score [3]. In 1997, Psycho applied a parallel search on an Intel dual Pentium SMP system running Windows NT 4.0, splitting at the root [4].
