Madeleine

a WinBoard and UCI compatible chess engine by Luigi Marco Ripamonti, first released in October 2002. Madeleine is bitboard based, and uses a series of common search techniques such as negamax alpha-beta with transpostion table, null move pruning, quiescence search, killer heuristic, and history heuristic. Its evaluation uses a pawn hash table, further it can probe Nalimov Tablebases, and GAFS by Guido Antonelli (Guido Antonelli Finali di Scacchi). || toc =Etymology= [|Madeleine] and Madeline are forms of [|Magdalene], which is well known as a name because of [|Saint Mary Magdalene]. Mary Magdalene's name is thought to be derived from [|Magdala] – a village on the sea of [|Galilee]. In [|Aramaic], "magdala" means "tower" or "elevated, great, magnificent".
