One site said that version 1 was Stuart, versions 2-4 were John, and version 5+ Stuart again. The first one I ever saw (in 1988) was written by John Stanback. It had no version numbers in it. Back in those days, my favorite engine was something called "EdChess" and I played a sort of corresondence chess with it. I would have the engine think all night on a position, and go and look at what it did in the morning. When I came home from work, I would give it my response and let it think all night again. It ran on a 286 and did it's own screen updating. (I had a Hercules Graphics card and so everything was orange.)
