Rondo

Home * Engines * Rondo

[ Mozart’s piano [1] Rondo,

was a massive parallel chess engine by Zach Wegner based on Anthony Cozzie’s Zappa, World Champion of 2005. Though still in retirement in that time, Anthony has given control of the program to Zach Wegner, who substantially tweaked all areas of the program to make a stronger chess player [2]. Rondo played the WCCC 2010 and WCSC 2010 in Kanazawa, with Erdogan Günes continuing as opening book author, and became runner-up in both tournaments, at the uniform hardware WCSC behind Shredder, and at the open hardware WCCC running on a Beckton 7560 32 Core behind Rybka. Rondo was declared joint champion along with Thinker after the disqualification of Rybka by the ICGA in June 2011.
