"Why on earth does a programmer want to write an alternative version of his chess program? Programming a chess engine is difficult enough, so why spending even more time on a Chess960 version? The answer is easy, according to Richard Pijl, programmer of the strongest Chess960 chess engine in the world: “More and more people asked me if I could write a Chess960 version of The Baron, and I thought: why not? Let´s make some people happy!" I wanted to find out if Baron was really the strongest Frc-program, so I am testing it against Gothmogfrc both using a mere 1.2 Ghz. On a single processor they are very close to call one or the other the strongest Frc program, but the SMP version is what really makes the difference. So far the score is dead even after 18 games at G/25 + 5 sec. Pichard
