In June, Dieter told me that he hasn’t given up on the idea of releasing a totally new chess engine. Actually, he has written some significant parts of it.

And Dieter was one of my favorite programmers. I miss his contributions a lot.

YACE is many years old but still today has some features that other engines are still caching up. Support for EGTBs, bitbases, UCI, WB, permanent hash, Windows/Linux, a sui generis NM verification...

Has anybody ever seen YACE crashing? I did not think so...

Not once, in thousands of games, and no time forfeits either, even at fast time controls.

It sounds very interesting.
