YES ! :lol:

The old Ruxy is an encyclopedia:

-The Turk
-Absolute Zero (a good engine coming from China)
-IntelliChess (Egypt)
-Felpo
-ChessBin
-RumbleMinze
-ChessMaps
-AmySharp
-Dolphin
-Ace
-DarkFusch
-Shutranj (an original chess engine coming from Pakistan via United Kingdom - from a chessmate friend - was a Santa 2013 present - I have this engine and is fully functional and strong enough).

Enough ?

Silvian :wink: R

Hi Norbert, Graham created that Logo for me from a picture of my daughters footprints. I added it to the binary download of N.G. 1.0

I've glanced at the code for MadChess and must say that you succeeded in writing it in a more business application style. Its organized much differently than most of the other engines I've seen and it's a true original.
I wrote it as I would an application at work, with an emphasis on code clarity. Now I'm rewriting it with an emphasis on performance. Think I'll stick with mailbox board representation for now, but use less object-oriented constructs.
But struggling to find any others that work reliably, are you aware of any others?
Pupsi is the strongest C# engine I'm aware of, other than Portfish. It's not open-source, but like all .NET programs, the code can be obtained using a decompiler such as dotPeek.
