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
