About

Hello! I'm Tom Kerrigan, the developer of tChess.

I'm an independent software developer. I live in Bellevue, Washington state, USA. (Bellevue is about 10 miles east of downtown Seattle.)

I started making my own chess engine as a hobby when I was in high school. I named the engine "Stobor." You can read more about it here.

I bought my first iPhone in 2008 and started making tChess as a way to carry Stobor around in my pocket. I've been working on it ever since.

The name "tChess" follows Apple's naming convention of combining a lower-case letter with a capitalized word. (iPhone, iMac, etc.)

The 't' stands for Tom.
