	Linux.com :: Chess engines for Linux
		XBoard and UCI (Universal Chess Interface) are two of the most popular and widely used free, open source communication protocols that enable a chess engine to communicate with a graphical user interface.
		Most of the engines are rated by making them play against other computers, and thus any rating given to a chess engine doesn't quite compare to a rating given to a human player.
		Phalanx chess engine was created by a young Czech student, Dusan Dobes, but he stopped working on it around the year 2000.

	Definition of List of chess engines
		A chess engine is a computer program that can play the game of chess, it can also refer not just to a program, but to a whole hardware machine.
		However, usually the term chess engine is used to refer to a chess playing program that does not have its own user interface.
		Most chess engines use the common approach of attempting all possible moves from a given position and then choosing the best one with the help of a search (mostly alpha beta search, which is an improvement over the minimax algorithm) and evaluate function.

	ipedia.com: Computer chess Article (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The two prime motivations for computerized chess playing have been solo entertainment (allowing players to practice and to amuse themselves when no human players are available) and as research to provide insights into human cognition.
		For this reason, computer chess, (as with other games, like Scrabble) is no longer of great academic interest to researchers in artificial intelligence, and has largely been replaced by more intuitive games such as Go as a testing paradigm.
		Therefore, the fact that the best efforts of chess masters and computer engineers are as of 2003 so finely balanced should probably be viewed as an amusing quirk of fate rather than the profound comment on thought that many in the past, including some of the early theorists on machine intelligence, thought it to be.

	ChessAssistance.com Tablebase installation in Chess Assistant
		Chess Assistant (and most winboard engines) employ the Nalimov format, so be sure to check if the set you are getting is the proper format.
		If you are trying to configure tablebase usage for a winboard engine, then you may have to edit some initialization files that are used specifically for the engine in question.
		Incidentally, once the tablebase engine is configured in the Engines setup dialog, you will notice that you now have another chess engine available for analysis.
