Rhetoric,
an UCI compliant chess engine by primary author Alberto Sanjuan supported by chess advisers Jose Antonio Morillas and Juan José Corbalán
[2],
first released as free engine in April 2012. Rhetoric is written in C++,
and has been trained with Genetic Algorithms to fit grandmaster moves from a collection of games played by Anatoly Karpov versus strong grandmasters
[3],
and therefor promises an interesting playing style.
Rhetoric 1.2, released in February 2014 [4],
was a huge improvement due to the introduction of singular extensions and late move pruning,
and further by performing evaluation tuning inspired by the method proposed by Peter Österlund
[5]
[6].
