**Sharky**,
a chess program written by [[John Kominek]], competing the [[WCCC 2002|10th World Computer Chess Championship, 2002]] in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maastricht|Maastricht]]. Sharky used some kind of [[Best-First|best-first]] search, but suffered from allocating too much [[Memory|memory]] on the fast machines during the Championship, yielding in huge slowdown of the program due to swapping of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging|memory pages]] from and to disk <ref>[[http://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=239869|Re: Poor Sharky without a single W or even D]] by [[Dann Corbit]], [[CCC]], July 11, 2002</ref>.
