[ Peppermint [1] Mint,

a WinBoard compliant chess engine by Christian Söderström, first released in July 2000 [2]. Mint was never designed with computer opponents in mind, it’s designed to provoke and attack to take advantage of human defensive errors [3]. Nevertheless, Mint had its tournament debut at the CCT2 in November 2000 [4]. Mint 2.3 comes with an opening book tuned by Arturo Ochoa [5].
