This one is unknown to me! I hope Sven finds this thread to write something about it.
If he really considers this as a new unrelated program release between his already three known programs,
I will add it to the chronology. Thanks for the hint.
No, please forget about "Femto". It had been published by me in a very special context, playing a chess variant "Marseillais Chess" as well as standard chess, but it is not meant to, and was never meant to, be some kind of serious chess engine. Also Norbert himself recently found some bugs which make that engine almost useless for testing or tournaments. Therefore I do not want it to be mentioned in your chronology, unless you want to list all existing buggy engines ... in that case I could send you some other unfinished ones from my harddisk :lol:

Thanks to all for pointing out errors, omissions & additional information. I will update the appropriate Computer-Chess Wiki pages soon.
