Who is Tech 4 ?
Hi Engin,
Tech 4 is my entry. It pays homage to the "Technology Chess Program" lineage started by Jim Gillogly in 1970. https://www.chessprogramming.org/Tech. Tech 2 was at the first WCCC in 1974, and it will be a nice bookend to have a Tech at the final WCCC 50 years later. It will be the weakest program competing, but it's still fascinating how far a material-only evaluation gets on modern hardware!

Really looking forward to meeting you and Tornado at the event.
Good luck in your final preparations!
John
