an acronym for **B**eginner's **A**ll-purpose **S**ymbolic **I**nstruction **C**ode, is a family of high-level programming languages, initially designed in 1963/1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College.
 * BASIC**,

While early dialects worked in conjunction with a teletype command line interpreter, which could immediately interprete and print expressions, or run a program which lines were entered (or re-loaded from punch tape) with leading line numbers, later dialects were more sophisticated with respect to program structure, recursion, object-oriented and event-driven programming paradigms, and compiled executables.

There were a few didactic chess programs written in Basic, most notably a program by Dieter Steinwender published 1984 in Computerschach und Spiele, Demoschach by Hans-Joachim Kraas and Günther Schrüfer , and Minimax by Chrilly Donninger and Dieter Steinwender, which was later converted to WinBoard by Thomas McBurney.  =Basic Engines= Engines, written, or initially written in Basic, to expand this list, create a new engine page with the tag "[|basicengines]". > include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="basicengines" limit="100"
