Sjeng is a championship-winner automated chess engine developed by Gian-Carlo Pascutto from Belgium.
Sjeng is able to make use of multiple computer processors and is able to play some chess variants, such as Chess960, crazyhouse and giveaway chess.[2] An earlier open source version of Sjeng has been the engine of the standard Mac OS X Chess application since Mac OS X v10.4.[3]
Sjeng won the World Computer Speed Chess Championship in 2008,[4] and the World Computer Chess Championship in 2009.[5] It also won the Internet Computer Chess Tournament in 2010 and 2011.
The author has also branched into computer Go, selling a strong program named Leela.[6]
