TheChess Programming Wiki is a repository of information aboutprogramming computers to playchess. Our goal is to provide a reference for every aspect of chess programming, information aboutprogrammers,researcher andengines. You'll find different ways to implementLMR andbitboard stuff likebest magics for most densemagic bitboard tables. For didactic purposes, theCPW-Engine has been developed by some wiki members. You can start browsing using the left-hand navigation bar. All of our content is arranged hierarchically, so you can see every page by following just those links. If you are looking for a specific page or catchword you can use the search box on top.

CPW was founded byMark Lefler on October 26, 2007^[1], first hosted onWikispaces^[2]. Due to that site closure^[3], it moved to its present new host atwww.chessprogramming.org.
