'''Chute''' (CHUTE - CHess, University of Toronto, Engineering),<br/>
the chess program from the [[University of Toronto]] by [[Michael Valenti]] and [[Zvonko Vranesic]]. Chute was subject of Valenti's Masters Thesis supervised by Vranesic <ref>[[Michael Valenti]] ('''1974'''). ''CHUTE I, An Easily Modifiable Chess Playing Program''. MSc. Thesis, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, [[University of Toronto]]</ref>, later also published in many parts in the [[Personal Computing]] magazine. Chute participated at four consecutive [[ACM North American Computer Chess Championship|ACM North American Computer Chess Championships]], [[ACM 1974]], [[ACM 1975]], [[ACM 1976]] and [[ACM 1977]] and the [[WCCC 1977]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto Toronto].
=Experiences with Chute=
Abstract of ''Experiences with Chute'' during the [[WCCC 1977]] in the Proceedings of the 1977 annual [[ACM]] conference <ref>[[Michael Valenti]], [[Zvonko Vranesic]] ('''1977'''). ''[http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=810241 Experiences with CHUTE]''. Proceedings of the 1977 annual [[ACM]] conference</ref> :
This paper describes some of the experiences with CHUTE (CHess, University of Toronto, Engineering), an easily modifiable chess playing program. The basic characteristics of the program are discussed. The game [[Search|tree look-ahead]] procedure used in the program does not employ a [[Evaluation|static position analysis]], but selects the best path strictly on the basis of dynamic move analysis.
A brief discussion of heuristics is given, along with some of the problems encountered in their implementation. The program has an [[Opening Book|opening book]] designed to take other chess playing programs out of their books.
