Sjeng,

an open source engine written by Gian-Carlo Pascutto with help from Adrien Regimbald, Daniel Clausen, Dann Corbit, Lenny Taelman, Ben Nye, Ronald de Man, David Dawson, Tim Foden and Georg von Zimmermann [1]. Sjeng was initially based on Faile 0.6 by Adrien Regimbald [2], and an attempt to create a Bughouse & Crazyhouse playing program. Sjeng 7 became open source under the GPL, also playing standard and Antichess [3]. The Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant Sjeng 11.2 was the final open source program released in January 2002 [4], while Sjeng 12.7 was closed source, didn’t play variants, and emerged to the commercial Deep Sjeng in 2003, initially market by Lex Loep’s Lokasoft [5].

Etymology#

The name Sjeng, which is also a Limburgish masculine given name, is the reverse of the long time number one human Bughouse player, with the handle “Gnejs” [10] [11].
