'''Awesome''',<br/>
a [[WinBoard]] compliant chess engine by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_titles#FIDE_Master_.28FM.29 Fide Master]
and former Australian Postal champion [[Bill Jordan]], first released in April 2001.
Awesome played the [[NC3 2003]], [[NC3 2004]], [[NC3 2005]] and [[NC3 2006]] [[Australasian National Computer Chess Championship|Australasian National Computer Chess Championships]].

from the Awesome site by [[Bill Jordan]] <ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20131114084319/http://home.vicnet.net.au/~chess/awesome.html Awesome Chess Program] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine Wayback Machine])</ref>
On and off over the years I have experimented with my chess playing program (Awesome). It is written in [[Cpp|Borland C++]] and was written entirely from scratch with many original approaches.
Awesome examines only a few [[Moves|moves]] compared with most chess engines, but sees quite deeply, thanks to good [[Move Ordering|move ordering]] and other factors. In a one minute [[Chess Game|game]], it is sometimes able to store every position examined in a game, in the [[Transposition Table|hash table]]. It some ways it emulates the way a human player thinks. One of my aims is to make the [[Search Tree|search tree]] as small as possible (without losing any effectiveness).
