Chinito (El Chinito),

Chinito further played various French Computer Chess Championships and Massy Tournaments, it won Massy 2002. In 2004, soon after it was found and proved Chinito contained parts of Crafty [1], Eugenio admitted using Crafty, apologized and informed the ICGA and French Computer Chess Association about the issue to accept their decision and disqualification of Chinito from the played events [2].
