'''Nemeton''',<br/>
a [[WinBoard]] compliant [[:Category:Open Source|open source chess engine]] by [[Stan Arts]].
It had its over the board tournament debut at the [[PT 47]], November 2014, in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden Leiden], and was introduced and released soon after <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54375 Nemeton 1 release] by [[Stan Arts]], [[CCC]], November 18, 2014</ref>.

=Description=
Written in [[Pascal]], Nemeton started as simple "bean counter", utilizing a [[Vector Attacks|16x12.5]] [[Mailbox|mailbox]] board [[Array|array]] (board:array[0..200] of byte) without [[Piece-Lists|piecelists]] and therefor an extremely small [[Memory#Footprint|memory footprint]].
