It is a pretty standard iterative deepening alpha-beta with null move and
extensions chess program.  It is available from my web site:

It is written in C++, using Microsofts VC6++ compiler.

>When it was written?

It was started about 4 years ago.  It is still being developed.

>Is this special mate solver or chess program?

It is a general chess program.

>What computer you used for solving this position?

A Duron 800MHz, using 24MB hash.
