'''Pulsar''',<br/>
a [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] compatible chess engine by [[Mike Adams]], written in [[C]].
The development started in October 1998, and with help from people on [[Internet Chess Club|ICC's]] channel 64, most notably [[Peter McKenzie|Kiwipete]] and [[Vincent Diepeveen|Diepeveen]], Pulsar started its life in December and January of 1998/99 <ref>[http://www.lanternchess.com/pulsar/ Pulsar Chess engine - Some History]</ref>.
