Quark,
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compatible chess engine by Thomas Mayer, written in C++. Beside using alpha-beta, Quark used to improve about 100 Elo in implementing a transposition table, null move pruning and an advanced evaluation along with various speed improvements [2]. Over the board, Quark played the 11th World Computer Chess Championship in Graz 2003 [3], as well as various IPCCCs in Paderborn, Dutch Open Computer Chess Championship, International CSVN Tournament [4] in Leiden and the BELCT 2001 [5] in Berlin. It further played multiple CCT Tournaments.
