List Program
[ List West Lighthouse on Sylt [1] List,
a chess engine by Fritz Reul, written in C. The development started in 2000, and List was first released as WinBoard engine 4.60 in May 2002 [2], and as free native ChessBase engine 5.04 for the Fritz GUI in December 2002 [3] .
WCCC 2003
List participated at the WCCC 2003 in Graz, not represented by its author himself, but by Erdogan Günes. Fritz Reul, being circumvented with examination commitments, did not act appropriate to prove his program was not a clone, as accused due to an official protest during the tournament. As a consequence, List was disqualified after eight of eleven rounds [6] [7]. In 2005, Fritz Reul was rehabilitated by the ICGA, after List’s source code was inspected by an expert approved by the ICGA [8], who stated List was definitely not a clone of any other program, and that it contains some new ideas in chess programming [9] [10].
List 5.12
In January 2004, List 5.12 was released as free UCI engine along with Aristarch by Stefan Zipproth [11]. Able to play Chess960, List further played the Chess960CWC 2005.
Loop List
In October 2005, Fritz Reul’s new 32-bit engine dubbed Loop List was released commercially as UCI engine [12] . List and Loop List further evolved to the 32-bit Loop engine as described in chapter 2 Non-Bitboard Architectures of Fritz Reul’s Ph.D. thesis New Architectures in Computer Chess [13].
Selected Games
