Keyano

Keyano was written by Mark Brockington in 1996, who gave it a parallel search as part of his thesis work. It was one of the world’s top programs during the 1990’s. The program is available as of 2012 as an iPhone app.

It has a slower, more complicated evaluation function than Logistello. It’s trying to gain accuracy at the expense of time.
