Contributors in the last two years

[Stephane Nicolet]

Hi all,

Here is a list of developers of the Stockfish project in the last two years (plus Gary and Tord), 

in alphabetical order, as I think it would be nice to add such a list in the release notes of SF 9.

The nicknames are from the commit list of GitHub, but the names I have typed by hand when

I knew them, so some of them may have mistakes and some of them are just missing.

=> please add/correct the names if you see anything wrong and know how to improve the list,

and please also drop us a word if you refuse to see your name published in the release notes,

of course.

Thanks to all,

Stéphane

Maybe from more than 2 years ago, but you are also missing a few from
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/graphs/contributors

For exemple MathewLai (the author of Giraffe) is missing.

This list is a bit misleading. For some reason, locutus2 have many more commits then showed.

I know I speak for so many workers, the community of SF fans, and chess lovers in general, in simply saying thank you to all of you developers for all the hours of labor, the creativity, dogged persistence, patience, effort, inspiration, getting up from repeated failures, humble collaboration / teamwork, and sheer brilliance, that has gone into improving SF over the past two years, so that we can see it play such beautiful chess at such a high level. Thank you! Congratulations and cheers to you all.

Hello Stéphane,

thanks for the nomination :-) Would be nice to be in the list of contributors.

List is clearly incomplete. Not all names from this

 git log 4f6aa152284e8009..HEAD  --format="%aN" --reverse | perl -e 'my %dedupe; while (<STDIN>) { print unless $dedupe{$_}++}' | sort

hi

I am happy with that

I would have achieved even 0.01% by contributing to this great beast

Hello Stephane,

although I am immensely flattered to see my name here, folks need to know all I ever did was moan and complain a lot during TCEC and definitely do not deserve the place here - Bryan on the other hand seems to be skipped, a person who permanently invest tons of time and analyses moves and games and performance, always trying to find something useful for programmers and to point out the problems as well as hint constructive ways to solve them. I think it would be nice to add him to this list.

[Stephane Nicolet]

Thanks for the remarks, everybody, the most current list is in this page: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/1380
