which began in November 2002 as a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compatible chess engine based on Tom Kerrigan's TSCP 1.73 code.
Ross Boyd has been hooked on computer chess since 1983. The desire to write a chess program drove him to learn the art of computer programming and led to a 25+ year IT career.
