a [[WinBoard]] compliant chess engine written by [[Gianluca Cisana]]. BremboCE was initially written in [[C]], and first released in February 2002, after Gianluca studied [[Tom Kerrigan|Tom Kerrigan's]] [[TSCP]] and learned how to program a chess engine <ref>[[http://bremboce.cisana.com/download_en.php|BremboCE | Download the winboard chess engine version | Version 0.1 - 17 February 2002]]</ref>. It had its not too bad tournament debut at [[CIPS 2002]] with 3/6. The latest C-version 0.4 from August 2002 is still available for download . The engine name is based upon the river [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brembo_%28river%29|Brembo]] in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Bergamo|Province of Bergamo]], situated near the author's home <ref>[[http://bremboce.cisana.com/download_en.php|BremboCE | Download the winboard chess engine version]]</ref>.

After a gap of seven years, in 2009, Gianluca continued the development porting BremboCE from C to [[Java]], running either as standalone WinBoard engine, or as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet|Java applet]] as part of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page|web page]] under control of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Virtual_Machine|Java Virtual Machine (JVM)]] - in a [[Process|process]] separated from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser|web browser]]. BremboCE keeps a [[Board Representation#SquareCentric|board array]] and uses [[Alpha-Beta#Negamax|negamax alpha-beta]] with [[Quiescence Search|quiescence]] considering [[Captures|captures]] and [[Promotions|promotions]]. The Java engine played the [[CCC 2009|4th Chess Computer Cup 2009]] with 2½/6, winning from [[Golem]] and [[Joker NL|Joker]].
