There is no joke. It may have been a bit inaccurate to call it "new" in the subject line of this thread, but I did explain in the very first post in this thread that Texel is a translation of CuckooChess from java to C++11.

CuckooChess is my own creation and you can follow its development history here: http://code.google.com/p/cuckoochess/source/list.

For slightly less details, see instead the change log: http://web.comhem.se/petero2home/javach ... ngeLog.txt.
Take it easy Peter. Cuckoo already was amazing. And some know it was a long way to go :D George perhaps misunderstood but for god's sake forgive him :D

Texel is a wonderful well written engine and I want to see it beat the "clean top" (robbotop).

Is there anyone left alive who can tell a serious remark from a tongue-in-cheek remark. It was extremely strong when I ran it, and I have seen people screaming and foaming at the mouth with excitement over an engine 200 elo weaker. And a couple of people who trip over their own goddam feet to be the first to test an engine were nowhere in sight. And I wondered why. So I was being a bit cynical, but in relation to THEM, not the author. I can't believe this silly shit and I have about had enough.
