A very fast searcher.  The first (and only so far) commercial version came out
in 1999 or 2000, published by Chessbase as one of "The Young Talents".
Excellent tactician.  Currently runs as an SMP engine (multiprocessor capable).
Have no idea how many CPU's it's running on in Paderborn.  Authors are the Kolss
brothers, occasional posters here, on CCC.
