So we have the following programmers represented:

Marty Hirsch
Mark Uniacke
Dave Kittinger
Johan de Koning
Frans Morsch
Ed Schröder
Richard Lang
Dan + Kathe Spracklen
Althoff / Georgopoulos / Kervinck
Boris von Loesch / Fabian Letouzey

DSChess i by chance found a few days ago when i searched the internet.
Boris von Loesch adapted Fabians Fruit engine for the Nintendo DS console family.

Therefore i took out my old Nintendo DSi that had so far very lousy chess engines, and put
the homebrew DSChess on it.

https://www.vonloesch.de/dschess.html

if you are interested in images of the last 2 machines, i mirror the games in the german computerchess forum schachcomputer.info:

for a long time it looked good for saitek D+ with the heavy overclocking.
then it changed into drawish situation and finally mchess took over the game.

The game with CT800 had the famous Knight fianchetto.
But the more moves were played the better the situation came for CT800.
In the end Magellan had nothing to defend with.

Good old times.

I have fond memories of engines like M-Chess.
And the very classy Mephisto computers in tournament board size.

We had the great opportunity to live in an age where computerchess begins from 1k engines to 4k engines to better and better engines. Until today.
