Computer-chess Wiki: Chess Engine List

[Olivier Deville]

Hi Ron

Many thanks for posting these engine updates !

Your Wiki is a very useful resource. By the way, I guess you can safely add Rooster to the clones list.

Caligula is not private anymore.

New private engine : MeneChess by Shaun Howe (UK)

Styx is probably a clone. If the author is reading, he can claim otherwise.

Thanks, Olivier!

I have changed my lists according to your findings.

BTW, which engines are Rooster and Styx based on?

Hi Ron

Rooster seems based on OliThink 4

Nobody has Styx. Chatting with the author at the ChessWar chat room made me very suspicious. Besides, he registered to some online events but did not show up. So no proofs, only strong suspicions.
