**NotChess**,
a didactic chess program by [[Andy Walker]]. NotChess was written in [[C]] and originated as a simple program to help teach students at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nottingham|University of Nottingham]] taking a game theory course <ref>[[http://web.archive.org/web/20070122035937/http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/personal/anw/G13GT1/compch.html|G13GAM -- Game Theory -- computer chess notes]] by [[Andy Walker]] ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine|Wayback Machine]])</ref>, but was overtaken the request to enter it in [[Don Beal|Don Beal's]] [[Uniform-Platform Computer Chess Championship]] <ref>[[Don Beal]] (**1993**). //Report on the QMW 1993 Uniform-Platform Computer Chess Championship//. [[ICGA Journal#16:3|ICGA Journal, Vol. 16, No. 3]]</ref> <ref>[[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess/browse_frm/thread/51267e26536fa912|QMW computer chess]] by [[Don Beal]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rec.games.chess]], August 19, 1993</ref>, where it according to its author suffered clarity.

|| {{Notchess was originally written as a sort-of demo program for this module, but it was overtaken by events and a request to enter it in a tournament. Unsurprisingly, since it was only debugged a couple of days before the start, and it had been intended for clarity rather than speed, it came last. The following year, I again received a request to enter Notchess for the so-called `[[UPCCC 1994|Uniform Platform]]' competition, and it won one game and drew a couple, so at least avoided the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_spoon_%28award%29|wooden spoon]]. However, in the attempt to make it usable for the tournament, clarity suffered, and it is not a program I would commend for style. Some day, I'll get around to re-writing it twice, once for this module and once in an attempt to play well!}} ||
