Dave Kittinger
Johan de Koning
Frans Morsch
Ed Schröder
Richard Lang
Dan + Kathe Spracklen
Althoff / Georgopoulos / Kervinck
Boris von Loesch / Fabian Letouzey

DSChess i by chance found a few days ago when i searched the internet.
Boris von Loesch adapted Fabians Fruit engine for the Nintendo DS console family.

Therefore i took out my old Nintendo DSi that had so far very lousy chess engines, and put
the homebrew DSChess on it.

if you are interested in images of the last 2 machines, i mirror the games in the german computerchess forum schachcomputer.info:
