Hi there,

Wasp by John Stanback:
http://www.amateurschach.de/main/_wasp.htm

Wasp 1.01 x64 is the ~ 300 Elo stronger successor of Zarkov (strongest version of Zarkov) and UCI compatible.

This release is in my opinion particularly.
I am using Wasp for self playing because the style of the engine is "human-like".

Thanks John!

A pity it does not run on older quad cores (2009/2010).
I hope there will be other compilations in the future?

Hi Brendon,

Thanks for your interest!

I will asked him in my next mail.

Thanks for your interest.

The ELO increase in 32bit to 64bit isn't that useful for guys who use these engines as an opponent for training games. Gonna get smashed most of the time anyway haha.

Based on Frank's words, I'm excited to find ANOTHER human-like engine!

Hi Franz,

Information added in Wasp detail site.
John will read it ...
