Pioneer

[supersharp77]

Is there a website where you can run or download Botwinniks chess program pioneer ? Or doesn't it exist anymore and has never been revived.

Never actually saw this engine...but in my research came across this mention of such a engine.....AR

Deep out of russia I get this peace of chess engine - Pioneer v42 ! - The author don’t want to go public at the moment, but he told me, that this is a further development of the legendary Pioneer from Michail Botwinnik with some hints of Bobby Fisher. And the strength is amazing, he sends me no book with it, but anyway, this piece of software plays fantastic under winboard, it get’s easily a 10-0 against Crafty ! Give it a try, here is the link.
The parameters for Winboard:

“pioneer42” /fd=c:\chess\pioneer
AND
“pioneer42” /sd=c:\chess\pioneer

I am not allowded to mention his name, so thanks to the unknown !
