Storm, a Chess Engine Communication Protocol aka WinBoard compliant chess engine written by Sean Empey, first released as free engine in May 2000. The program performed a parallel search based on ABDADA, and in 2004 Sean planned a change to Principal Variation Splitting in conjunction with bitboards [1]. Storm played the first two CCT Tournaments, CCT1 and CCT2.
Thunderstorm over Death Valley, California [2]
