While the goal was to create an original program that uses a carefully-selected combination of the hundreds of ways to assault the challenge of teaching a computer to play chess, a large amount of Godot's code is based on Stef Luijten's Winglet and Alberto Ruibal's Carballo. The name Godot comes from [|Samuel Beckett's] play //[|Waiting For Godot]// because the author found himself waiting indefinite periods of time for Godot to play a move. || toc =Features=
