MatMoi,
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant chess engine written by Mathieu Pagé in C++, first developments started approximately in 2003 ^[1]. It’s name is French and translates to "Checkmate me" (if you can). MatMoi played the CCT11 and CCT12 computer chess tournaments. CCT12 participant MatMoi 7.15.0 playing under the handle ChessPlusPlus was published in March 2010 as 32/64-bit engines to run under Windows and Linux respectively ^[2], subsequent improved versions are kept privat. MatMoi is based on bitboards ^[3], and started as pure minimax searcher to get it completely functional before alpha-beta and further improvements were implemented ^[4].
