Wii+Chess

a chess program for [|Nintendo's] [|Wii] [|console]. Wii's chess engine is based on Loop Express by Fritz Reul. In his Ph.D. thesis //New Architectures in Computer Chess//, Reul mentioned Wii Chess as implementation of Non-Bitboard Architectures based on a 15x12 Board representation due to lower performance and the 32-bit [|bandwidth] of Nintendo’s PowerPC 750 CL based main processor. Reul further acknowledged thesis supervisor Jaap van den Herik who set up the contact to Nintendo in 2007, which implemented Reul's source code successfully in Wii Chess.
