It's the last prototype, newer than ZapMexII.

So is this a private engine? Because i couldn't find Zappa X on google.

So is it the same as Zappa Mexico II or is it even newer?

Looking at the latest trend from Zappa I expect an elo increase of -2. Its probably couple of days newer than Zappa II, who cares.

So is Zappa X a private engine? When will it be released to the public? I couldn't find it on google.

What makes you think that you can find everything on google? It is probably not a significant improvement, its also possible that someone just renamed the engine to Zappa X.

Most probably is the case Tony,yeah....

It's a newer version, latest version I know.

Zappa X was there before Zappa Mexico, and I assume it's an older beta version. They had discussions about what name the new Zappa should have, and had to decide between Mexico or X, and they decided for Mexico in the end.

Strange

I believed he was retired ... However looks like I saw him on playchess with others testing Zappa X

And It looks like He is in my area ... Just 50 miles away

Maybe a good news fo chess community ... if he is only 99% retired

Yes i saw him too testing Zappa X with 2 other people who had the same engine. So is Zappa X newer than Zappa Mexico II or older?
