The program uses the Chess Cases chess font, created by Matthieu Leschemelle. The name CuckooChess comes due that the transposition table is based on Cuckoo hashing.[2]
Android app based chess gaming app Droidfish employs both CuckooChess and Stockfish chess engines.[3] Similarly, Kickstarter funded AI based virtual reality chess game Square Off also uses CuckooChess engine.[4]
It has an ELO rating of 2583 (as of July 2018) and a rank of 135‑137 in the Computer Chess Rating List.[5]
