Insomniac chess engine

Post by mineola »

Hi ; Can anyone tell me if there was ever a public release of Insomniac chess engine? I know it was a private engine. Respectfully, Joe Louvier

IIRC It was released as a pack with "young talent" engines from chessbase but I'm not so sure about it though or perhaps most likely it was never released at all.

thank you for the answer, I have The young talents CB CD buried somewhere. I will have to find it. I have heard that it has an interesting playing style. Thanks respectfully Joe Louvier

I checked young talents cd and found that Insomniac was not on there. I will have to find a copy elsewhere. Respectfully Joe Louvier

He lived in Riverside, CA, and I did find a listing for J. Robertson in Riverside:
