This page is now very outdated, iirc dating from early 2018.  I've seen pr
on #cat-v, but I'm not aware of him publishing his chess engine.
umbraticus has done a bunch of work on several of them [1].  There might
be a port of GNU chess somewhere, but I don't condone self-harm.  There's
also mycroftiv's purplechess [2], you'll need to read his posts to
experience it to the fullest :)

Cheers,
qwx
