I suppose nobody here is dumb enough to use it.....
I'd start with the date of version 2.7.3.Guenther wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 10:53 am A new open source chess engine was sent to CCRL in December, but was not announced yet.
It's name is Halogen by Kieren Pearson from Australia.
(still trying to figure out what is the family name?)
A little dilemma for the entry in the chronology, it had 'releases' since June, but was unknown before and in the past
we (Frank, Thomas, Leo, myself) only recorded dates of official first releases or when being found by someone...
Last official version 2.73, but there is already a version 2.82 in the 'binaries' folder

I did not know if Pearson or Kieren is the family name - Google says both is possible also in Australia ;-)Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 1:52 pmI'd start with the date of version 2.7.3.Guenther wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 10:53 am A new open source chess engine was sent to CCRL in December, but was not announced yet.

I don't understand your problem with the family name. If the author then Pearson. If the engine then Halogen (not Halogen2, I asked him to clarify that).

Let's see if it can play with 6-man syzygy's now (used to crash).
