 | | 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". | | | Many variants and relatives of chess are played throughout the world; amongst them, the most popular are Xiangqi (in China), Janggi (in Korea), Shogi (in Japan), and Buddhi Chal (in Nepal), all of which come from the same historical stem as chess. | | | Chess is played both recreationally and competitively in clubs, tournaments, online, and by mail (correspondence chess). |

| | Chess Engine Communication Protocol |
| | When the engine is playing on a chess server, xboard obtains the opponent's name from the server. | | | If the game is not standard chess, but a variant, this command is sent after "new" and before the first move or "edit" command. | | | If needed for purposes of board display in force mode (where the engine is not participating in the game) the time clock should be associated with the last color that the engine was set to play, the otim clock with the opposite color. |

| | List of chess engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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 pruning, which is an improvement over the minimax algorithm) and evaluation function. |
