If this Zappa X is the same, then it's clearly old news.

I saw him testing this morning ... under his own account...

I think this is a new Zappa ,

Just For beta testing , Author could name his Chess engine X, Y or Z ... It doesn t matter

Well I think he had probably done further work before he decided to finally retire. If he's testing it, maybe he'll release it to existing customers as his last ever version. Or maybe it is an older one...

Or maybe it is an older one...

From the HIARCS forum:

It seems, as has been reported at CCC, that he is not retired at all

Somebody can understand him?

If people posted here rather than on CCC there would be none of this confusion. To answer the 2 main questions on CCC - Zappa x is an older beta that was never released. The Queen rank Zappa login on Playchess is Erdo even though the info/picure says Anthony.
