XXXX

a chess program written in C by Martin Zentner and Stefan Meyer-Kahlen, and since 1995, when SMK started his career with Shredder, further developed in C++ as **XXXX II** by Martin Zentner alone. XXXX had its tournament debut at IPCCC 1994, and XXXX II played the WMCCC 1995, WMCCC 1996, WMCCC 1997 and the WCCC 1999, and regularly participated at IPCCCs during the 90s, and further played the Aegon 1997. XXXX was a conventional PVS searcher applying Null Move Pruning with a rather speculative evaluation for a "human-like" style of play. || toc =Description= given in 1999 from the ICGA site :
