Ikarus
[ Daedalus und Ikarus [1] Ikarus,
a chess engine by Munjong and Muntsin Kolss, written in Delphi. The development started in January 1997, and in May 2000 Ikarus was released as Young Talent by ChessBase [2] [3], and is now a private engine. Ikarus is the German spelling of Icarus from Greek mythology, with his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father, Daedalus, constructed from feathers and wax. However, the chess engine Ikarus is not related with the internet chess client Icarus by Random Software [4] .
