	Chess engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nowadays, many commercial engines, historically sold tightly integrated with their own interface, now allow additional engines to be loaded.
		Chess engines increase in playing strength each year.
		Some chess engines use endgame tablebases to increase their playing strength during the endgame.

	Electronic T-Notes March 10, 2002 (Optimizing a chess engine's strength) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Even though chess programmers have made great strides in making their engines inherently stronger over the last few years, the single most important factor in a chess engine's strength is still the computer's processor.
		If a chess engine plays an opening that generally leads to closed positions, it's not going to be able to utilize the very things that computers excel at: tactical accumen and great use of piece mobility.
		An engine's programmer is very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of his own creation; each engine's opening book is designed to lead to positions that allow that particular engine to maximize its unique strengths while minimizing its deficiencies.

		Chess is not a game of chance; it is based solely on tactics and strategy, and for this reason, it is sometimes known by the soubriquet the "Game of Kings".
		Chess is one of the humanity's most popular games; it has been described not only as a game, but also as an art, science, and sport.
		Chess is sometimes seen as an abstract wargame; as a "mental martial art", and teaching chess has been advocated as a way to increase mental prowess.

	Fruit (chess engine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fruit is a chess engine developed by Fabien Letouzey.

	Chess Engine Communication Protocol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Engines that do not support a particular new feature do not have to use it; new features are not enabled unless the engine specifically requests them using the feature command.
		First, when your engine tries to write some characters to xboard, the library stashes them in an internal buffer and does not actually write them to the pipe connected to xboard until either the buffer fills up or you call a special library routine asking for it to be flushed.
		Associate the engine's clock with the color that is on move, the opponent's clock with the color that is not on move.

	Chess Assistant 5.0 Review
		Chess Academy) in that they are including features that enable the user to both play and analyze games with the same user interface.
		Chess Assistant's implementation of this function allows the user to set the search depth to which any one position is to be studied, along with a maximum number of moves which you want the engine to play out.
		Chess Assistant has always been a pioneer in the use of the Chess Tree concept, of which many chess players are familiar.

		I found that having to always go into the engine options dialog to change engine settings was somewhat slow, there needs to be a faster/easier way to change engine settings.

	CGESS GAME ANALYSIS USING CHESS ENGINES -- PART ONE
		The chess software "explosion" during the last fifteen years has provided many positive benefits to chess players, not the least of which is the ability to play a game of chess anytime they choose.

		Strong chess players and computer chess experts typically value the loss of a tempo as being equivalent to about a third of a pawn.

	Typhoon Chess Engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A chess engine's opening book is a library of moves in different positions that it can access and play in leu of a searching for a move.
		For example, by accessing a tablebase an engine might instantly determine that a certain configuration of king vs. king, knight and bishop is a mate in 38 for the stronger side.
		This is a good way to test two chess engines because when they play over the Internet, unlike when they both play on the same machine, they do not have to fight each other for access to the processor and memory resources of a single computer.
