'''Naum''',<br/>
a former commercial chess engine written by [[Alexander Naumov]] in [[Cpp|C++]]. In about 2003, Naum was first developed for [[Palm]] handheld computers, and ported to [[x86]] [[IBM PC|PCs]], where Naum soon evolved to a top commercial chess engine. Naum '''4.2''' was released in March 2010, and did support both, the [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] and [[UCI]] with executables shipped for single-and multiple-processor systems running under [[Windows]] and [[Linux]]. Naum was part of the ''Chess Coach'' program supporting the proprietary [[BlitzIn]], [[Dasher]] and [[ChessBase (Database)|ChessBase]] [[GUI|GUIs]]. As of 2012, the commercial career of Naum as stand alone program ended so far, and in September 2014, Alexander Naumov asked [[Graham Banks]] to provide a download link for a free Naum '''4.6''' <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53858 Naum 4.6 (64-bit only) free to you all!] by [[Graham Banks]], [[CCC]], September 28, 2014</ref>.
