Titan

a chess engine by Don Dailey and Larry Kaufman affiliated with Julio Kaplan's Heuristic Software, and like its predecessor Heuristic Alpha also written in C and never commercially released under its original name. Titan, intern also dubbed Mini, was a kind of experimental development version and testbed of new ideas for the optimized x86 assembly Socrates versions.

Titan won the ACM 1993 on a 486 PC, leaving Cray Blitz, *Tech and B*Hitech behind, but was "traded" for [|Socrates II], soon sold to Electronic Arts for their game AI of the mass-market entry Kasparov's Gambit. Titan influenced the commercial Socrates **3.0**, which was released in 1993 not by Heuristic Software, but through a company called MDI, and further started a academic career thanks to MIT connections yielding to *Socrates. || toc =Selected Games= ACM 1993, round 2, Socrates II - ChessMachine Schroder code [Event "ACM 1993"] [Site "Indianapolis USA"] [Date "1993.02.14"] [Round "2"] [White "Socrates II"] [Black "Chessmachine Schroder"] [Result "1-0"]
